Very nice to see Hearty included in this CBC list — "10 Canadian books about food to spark conversation around the dinner table" www.cbc.ca/books/canadi...

I have a new article out through @americananthro.bsky.social News for their Defunded issue! It's looking at the power of government language bans and their repercussions on erasing health consequences for offshore oil drilling in America www.anthropology-news.org/articles/era...

What's the story behind the maple syrup mafia? How did Catholicism shape maple syrup production in Quebec? Is climate change shifting how syrup tastes? Check out my conversation with journalist Peter Kuitenbrouwer to learn more! #maplesyrup #canadianhistory www.anthrodish.com/episodes/pet...

It is entirely possible your grandmother was born in the 70s she knows what high fructose corn syrup is

i spent my entire phd and post doc and onward trying to get people to care about water as a human right and a public health service and i’m at the point where i just don’t know what it’ll take to get people invested. the proposed ontario government legislation apparently isn’t of enough concern

New ep with India Doris, co-owner and Executive Chef at Markette Restaurant (NYC). We talk about how her early fine dining days shaped her creation of the Markette menu by infusing autobiographical elements into dishes that reflect Caribbean histories & flavours. www.anthrodish.com/episodes/ind...

with every day that new policy from the ford government comes out i worry more and more for future generations. the water regulations proposed are only going to further hurt many communities and public water as a right

absolutely everyone has sent me that SNL irish dancer skit so i guess everyone still remembers me as that kid that did irish dance back in the day

I remember Dublin's food (~14a ago) and wanted to explore some of what's happening now for this week's St. Patrick's Day column. Got to with chefs Brian McCourt here and Padraic Flynn (a KW-boy!) in Co. Laois about the fantastic foodish things happening there. #Food #IrishFood #StPatricksDay

This week, talking with Jamie Tracey of Anti-Chef looking food disconnections in Canadian food landscapes, and being a self-taught cook sharing your highs and lows in front of the internet. #antichef #foodpodcast #canadianfood Listen here: www.anthrodish.com/episodes/jam...

new slow sunday habit includes yelling at the newspaper feature about nicotine pouches being risky for youth “SINCE WHEN HAS A GENERATION NOT DABBLED WITH NICTOTINE WHY ARENT WE GOING WITH HARM REDUCTION” like it’s 2026 why are we surprised/acting like abstinence only works!!!

Thrilled to have chef Leigh-Ann Martin on AnthroDish! I’ve long admired her approach to cooking and food writing. We explore her Trini upbringing, navigating personal & collective histories menus, & breaking down the myth of a singular Caribbean culinary foodway. www.anthrodish.com/episodes/lei...

i have a lot of feelings about publically engaged anthro but it’s wild to me that after all this time, major anthro institutions maintain their social media on X…

officially the month where i’m most self conscious about how much green i regularly wear and how many potato comments i get for it at work ☘️

slowly dipping my toes back into academic conferences so i must have hit my head or something. (to be fair, it’s only when it’s a good fit for applied anthropology work!)

New episode this week with the lovely Teresa Finney @atheartpanadera.bsky.social She speaks about her cottage bakery, ingredient sourcing, the relationship between baking & the body, and the role she sees bakers playing in serving their communities. #microbakery www.anthrodish.com/episodes/ter...

"Until recently, Canadians provided a critical lifeline by bringing medical supplies down to Cuba... it’s been painful telling my Cuban medical friends that Canada’s flights to Cuba have been stopped for several months — right when they need us most." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

one of my greatest paranoias as a podcaster is that i've accidentally missed a number in my episode titling

you can always tell how obsessed i am with a book if i mention it in three separate podcast interviews, which are thematically unrelated interviews lol. woops.

This week, I'm speaking with #anthro professor Dr. Hanna Garth on her new book, Food Justice Undone. We look at the roles of liberalism & whiteness in food activism, and the power of language and statistics in shaping the landscape and politics of #foodmovements www.anthrodish.com/episodes/han...

very tired of MAHA critiques that laud organic/natural food movements without any mention of their whiteness and its culturally bound notions of “healthy foods”

It's nice to see @theflytrapmedia.com republish this 2021 Bitch piece I wrote on sugar! If you like this piece, may I suggest... my forthcoming book ON EATING?! theflytrapmedia.com/sweet-hereafter/?ref=the-flytrap-newsletter&attribution_id=6982c77fcdf957000153cc69&attribution_type=post

not to brag or anything, but i finally decided it was more useful to use my main bookmark bar for my podcast software quick links instead of “YouTube: The Best of Miss Miller from Alvin and the Chipmunks” (added there in 2006)

we’re seeing massive anxieties about the north american food system (both warranted & unwarranted, but ultimately manipulated by MAHA). parallel, these same systems manipulate other countries, depriving them of fuel, food, other necessities to ensure they remain potential land to profit off.

new episode! with registered dietician Stephanie Voytek on the scientific value of pleasure and intuition relating to nutrition, and the impact of industrialized and post-WWII era food systems on our modern food reckonings with food #nutrition #foodculture www.anthrodish.com/episodes/ste...

And certain grocery stores who hike their prices to eye-watering levels, only to drop it back to normal a few weeks later and claim it's on sale.

Speaking with anthropology PhD candidate Sarah Oresnik on their research with UK teens to explore school nutrition programs, including challenges of daily food allowances, and questioning what "cultural foods" can be for teens in diasporic communities. www.anthrodish.com/episodes/sarahoresnik

This week, I talked to four bakers about how their regional food systems influence their work. www.aliciakennedy.news/p/look-to-th...

I wrote about missing Grade B maple syrup even though technically it's still out there ambrook.com/offrange/per...

❤️

me shouting “not my irish history books!” as my toddler rips pages out of them and eats them and i realize i’ve fully become my father.

This week, I'm speaking with Mike Greenberg of @dailybreadto.bsky.social on how they meet high demands for meals, the nutritional + social impact of food insecurity for clients, and the vital role food banks play in advancing equity and dignity in food access. www.anthrodish.com/episodes/dai...

what is it about my food podcast tiktok that gets so many dog accounts following it? (175 followers, guarantee 25% are accounts like Rocky 🐾 or Goldie 🐱)

Also my brain while everyone is watching how the U.S. murders its own citizens in broad daylight and doesn't concern itself with their survival or flourishing but simply their obedience and use:

how very brave of The Atlantic to only finally feel comfortable calling fascism... fascism...

back on my food inflation & produce rotting at the canadian grocery store in the newsletter. so often we forget to unpack the national, regional, and local factors. or forget about the people working to meet skyrocketing needs at food banks. #canadianfood sarahduignan.substack.com/p/fruit-rot-...

New episode! Cha McCoy discusses her expansion of terroir for regions of the world not known for their grape wines, how taste preferences are shaped, and what flavours are valued or looked over under colonial approaches to wine pairings. #sommelier #wineculture www.anthrodish.com/episodes/chamccoy

@thetyee.ca is hiring a biodiversity reporter! We're looking for someone who can bring a good sense of curiosity & narrative to the role, and also do some investigative/accountability reporting. Deets here: thetyee.ca/Tyeenews/202...

"You’re not quite the people you thought you were and nothing feels normal." We lost water for five days in San Juan recently (many others went much longer) and it was absolutely psychologically damaging. The last chapter in my next book is about water...! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Poor people and broke people do not need food advice from rich / upper middle class "wellness" influencers. Poor people have more resourcefulness & resilience in their pinky fingers than most rich people can hope to witness in the entire course of their lives.

it is always striking to me how easy it is for the powers that be to understand the importance of sovereignty (land, food, nation) UNTIL it's Indigenous sovereignty...

youtube shorts is a wild & humbling ride as a creator because sometimes you're lucky to get one view over six weeks, and then other times it blows up in a matter of hours and you never know which you'll get

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

my newsletter is back for 2026! starting with a personal essay about cooking lessons from bad boyfriends and good juice bars in the 2010s Toronto scene, and the way i learned to cook through meal kits (mostly) sarahduignan.substack.com/p/cooking-le...

being a podcaster with laryngitis is a cruel joke, 2026!!

How about a taste of summer in the bleak midwinter? UofGuelph's a finalist in the Homegrown Challenge, working on sustainable, AI-enabled vertical farming system to for year-round strawberries. And YES, that berry was that red. #Agriculture #Canada #Foodsky www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

all dressed chips getting more all dressed flavours is the weirdest type of nationalism
