Stephen Satterfield:我从小在充满食物的环境中长大,并受到家庭和电视节目的影响,最终将食物作为毕生的事业。我最初学习烹饪,后来转向葡萄酒研究,并成为侍酒师。通过研究葡萄酒的地理起源,我开始对食物的起源产生兴趣,并意识到地理和风土与人类起源和故事之间的联系。我创立了一个非营利组织,致力于帮助非洲裔酿酒师,并开始将食物和葡萄酒作为讨论更重要议题的工具。我认为自己有责任为后来者创造更轻松的环境,并认为这是我作为亚特兰大黑人的一部分遗产。我发现通过美食可以更容易地与人们讨论诸如种族隔离、奴隶制和剥夺权利等话题。食物和葡萄酒具有独特的权力,既可以获得权力,也可以解除权力。理想和现实的饮食并不总是匹配的,这与资本主义和食品体系有关。我希望人们能够更加关注食物的起源和来源,以实现家庭和社区的可持续性。支持当地农民和农场是人们可以做的切实可行的改变。支持黑人农民对经济健康、社区健康和财务健康至关重要。食物与一切相关,是组织自身和进行交叉组织的有力手段。通过了解食物的历史,我们可以更好地理解自己,并为他人创造空间。 Chris Duffy:食物能够让人们与食物的起源和文化传统建立感官联系。Stephen Satterfield 将美食作为理解世界的一种方式,并致力于展现食物背后的完整故事。他认为,如果一顿饭没有与幕后人员和食材的历史产生联系,那就是错失良机。他希望人们能够将食物选择视为一种政治行为,一种每天投票的方式,一种加强或削弱社区的方式。他认为,由于资本主义的要求和食品体系的运作方式,理想和现实的饮食并不总是匹配的。他认为,人们对食物起源和来源的关注日益增强,这将有助于实现家庭和社区的可持续性。

Shownotes Transcript

Stephen Satterfield, the host of Netflix docu-series “High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America,” thinks the bananas in the U.S. are gross. Sure, they’re convenient to produce and ship commercially, but they’re fibrous, bland and maybe worst of all inescapable! They’re also just one example of how what we eat is shaped by culture, politics, and history. In this episode, Stephen explains why he uses gastronomy as a way to understand the world and shares how we can use food to empower people who grow and consume what we eat.
