Food is a right.

Being a food justice organization means that we are aligning and evaluating our work to ensure that it drives at dismantling sites of exploitation within the food system and our food movement. We use an equity lens to seek justice, and food security, for everyone.

Body Liberation and Fat Acceptance Statement

As a food justice organization that believes in body liberation and fat acceptance, we do not support fatphobia. We are challenging the idea that foods are “good” or “bad,” or that people are good or bad for eating certain foods.  All bodies have the right to exist as they are.
