The rise of the blogspert: Biopedagogy, self-knowledge, and lay expertise on women’s healthy living blogs
Pathogenic or health-promoting? How food is framed in healthy living media for women
The Online Domestic Goddess: An Analysis of Food Blog Femininities
Scholars have explored how female food celebrities represent a realm of fantasy and desire, embodying attractive “domestic goddesses” who showcase the wonder and seduction of home-cooked meals. These studies have largely focused on television personalities and have overlooked the food blogosophere, a highly popular, digital realm of food media dominated by women. The blogosphere has its own prominent food personalities and occupies a central role…

Les gens bien mangent bien: Comprendre Le Répertoire Culturel De l'Alimentation Éthique
Les universitaires conçoivent la consommation éthique comme un moyen privilégié par lequel les individus peuvent aborder les problèmes sociaux et écologiques. Bien qu'optimiste, cette conception mène à interroger la consommation éthique comme pratique sociale essentiellement réservée aux élites, tout particulièrement dans la mesure où les marchés de niche occupés par les produits alimentaires éthiques (biologiques ou équitables, par exemple) sont…
Place, Ethics, and Everyday Eating: A Tale of Two Neighbourhoods
In this article we investigate how 'ethical eating' varies across neighbourhoods and explore the classed nature of these patterns. While our focus is on 'ethical eating' (e.g. eating organics, local), we also discuss its relation to healthy eating. The analysis draws from interviews with families in two Toronto neighbourhoods - one upper and the other lower income. We argue that understandings and practices of 'ethical eating' are significantly s…
Good food, good people: Understanding the cultural repertoire of ethical eating
Ethical consumption is understood by scholars as a key way that individuals can address social and ecological problems.

Scholars do not fully understand the extent to which privileged popul…
