ISSUE 25 / HUNGER Food can make us feel so many things: euphoria; disgust; curiosity; at home. What are our personal and cultural connections to food? How do we share it, value it, connect to it, and enjoy it? How has our relationship to it evolved over time, within families, and within communities? This issue takes us across the world—from Canada to Pakistan; from Ukraine to Korea. And in every corner of the earth these stories came from, something felt universal: food is not just survival, it is resilience; it is home; it is the ties that bind. Food is also political. Those who have it, and those who don’t. How we eat it, and what is available around us. Food touches all parts of our lives. Stories in this issue include a writer's Ukrainian war cookbook, the food we consume through loss, the cultural connection to home in a new country, cravings of many kinds, family traditions through tomatoes, and much more. Interviews with Chef Shai on teaching children to cook, and Cheyenne from Sundance Harvest on urban agriculture from a class equity lens.
