Description
This work is a feminist speculative project dealing with the status of food production in 2054. In the future, locally-grown organic food will be affordable, and processed food will be illegal. Though families have more access than ever to nutritious food, their right to choose junk food has been taken away. Future people will have more access to high-quality food but lack the freedom of choice of what to put in their bodies. Bodily autonomy deals with feminist issues and the power dynamics of who has access to nutritious food.
