Summary:
In this sweeping chronicle of guaraná—a glossy-leaved Amazonian vine packed with more caffeine than any other plant—Seth Garfield develops a wide-ranging approach to the history of Brazil itself. The story begins with guaraná as the pre-Columbian cultivar of the Sateré-Mawé people in the Lower Amazon region, where it figured centrally in the Indigenous nation's origin stories, dietary regimes, and communal ceremonies. During subsequent centuries of Portuguese colonialism and Brazilian rule, guaraná was reformulated by settlers, scientists, folklorists, food technologists, and marketers. Whether in search of pleasure, profits, professional distinction, or patriotic markers, promoters imparted new meanings to guaraná and found new uses for it. Today, it is the namesake ingredient of a multibillion-dollar soft drink industry and a beloved national symbol. Guaraná’s journey elucidates human impacts on Amazonian ecosystems; the circulation of knowledge, goods, and power; and the promise of modernity in Latin America's largest nation. For Garfield, the beverage's history reveals not only the structuring of inequalities in Brazil but also the mythmaking and ordering of social practices that constitute so-called traditional and modern societies.

Summary:
Tandis que les protéines animales ne sont plus nécessaires à la nutrition d'une majorité d'humains, des centaines de millions d'animaux sont tués chaque jour pour être mangés. Cette exploitation de masse ne soulève pas seulement une question éthique fondamentale. Elle constitue un risque écologique crucial qui met en péril l'habitabilité de la planète. L'élevage accapare 77 % des surfaces agricoles mondiales quand la pêche se déploie dans plus de la moitié des océans. Principaux fossoyeurs de la biodiversité sauvage, l'un et l'autre sont aussi en passe de devenir les tout premiers contributeurs du changement climatique : le secteur de la viande représente déjà près de 15 % des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre. Face à ce désastre, l'heure n'est plus à distinguer les pratiques industrielles et artisanales : les deux se combinent sous l'effet d'un appétit insatiable qui dévore la planète.

Summary:
Architectural Design vol 75 no 3 may/june 2005. "Food + the city" makes the relationships between food and the city visible by exploring both the ways in which buying and eating food have become such a significant part of urban public life, and the ways in which design supports and enhances the place of food in the city. It is timely because the proliferation of urban cafes, restaurants, and markets continues, but is not sufficiently recognized or analyzed. Food related topics are now of great interest in academic and design disciplines but the theme of this issue, food as it relates to the variety and vitality of urban life, has not been addressed.

Summary:
Simple, healthy, and comforting, breakfast cereals are a perennially popular way to start the day. This book examines cereal’s long, distinguished, and surprising history—dating back to when, around 10,000 years ago, the agricultural revolution led people to break their fasts with wheat, rice, and corn porridges. Only in the second half of the nineteenth century did entrepreneurs and food reformers create the breakfast cereals we recognize today: Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, Cheerios, and Quaker Oats, among others. In this entertaining, well-illustrated account, Kathryn Cornell Dolan explores the history of breakfast cereals, including many historical and modern recipes that the reader can try at home.

Huit millions de personnes en France ne peuvent pas se nourrir comme elles le souhaiteraient, obligées pour certaines de recourir aux dons, contraintes pour d'autres de se rabattre sur des produits ''low cost''. A l'opposé de cette réalité, une offre alternative à celle de l'industrie agro-alimentaire, de meilleure qualité (bio, locale...), se développe depuis vingt ans, mais n'est accessible qu'aux ménages ayant un certain revenu. Bien manger est devenu un luxe. Cette enquête décrypte les rouages d'un système et explore de nouveaux modèles pour l'alimentation de demain. Lutter contre la précarité alimentaire, c'est agir tout au long de la chaîne, du champ à l'assiette. C'est repenser la place que nous faisons à l'alimentation, dans nos vies et dans notre société.

Summary:
Food appears everywhere in the arts. But what happens after viewers carry food away in the intestinal networks activated by social practice art, the same way digestion turns food into a body? Exploring the emerging field of metabolic arts, "After eating" claims digestion and metabolism as key cultural, creative, and political processes that demand attention. Taking an artist-centered approach to nutrition, Lindsay Kelley cultivates a neglected middle ground between the everyday and the scientific, using metabolism as a lens through which to read and write about art. Divided into two parts and full of playful chapter titles such as "Food Babies" and "Poop Circus," After Eating investigates multiple facets of the sociocultural implications of body image and body process in body art from the 1970s to the present. By engaging the notion of "after" as an artistic homage or tribute, metabolism moves beyond the cell to transform into a method for responding to the most difficult cultural, philosophical, and political challenges of the contemporary moment. Metabolic reading rethinks feminist, queer, bioart, installation, and performance projects, providing artists, students, and teachers with new pathways into art theory.
