Eating Beside Ourselves
Summary
This is a philosophical excerpt examining eating as a liminal activity at the boundary of body and environment. It reflects on cultural values around food and does not contain original scientific research on microplastics or environmental health.
Eating is a liminal activity, occurring at the threshold between "inside" and "outside" the body. . . . As such it represents both opportunity and danger, and so it stands to reason that it would be freighted with significance that bears upon values and the relative worth of diff er ent ways of life.
