Representation and Diversity in Food Media

The podcast episode discusses the lack of diverse voices in food media and publishing. It highlights that the industry has been dominated by mostly white, mostly male decision-makers, who have filtered which ingredients, dishes, and chefs are popularized. This narrow perspective does not accurately represent the authentic variety of food enjoyed in the country. Women, immigrants, and women of color, especially, have been shaping the way people eat today. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and giving credit to these marginalized voices.
