What is the relationship between eating and being fed in today’s food system? How does the food system use our need to eat to make us feed on what is in the interest of the market, as opposed to our health and the planet’s? This paper troubles understandings of consumers as sovereign, choosy, abled eat-ers, to instead highlight geographies, relationalities, and conditions that create situated, bounded, disabled fed-ers. Suffering from an ableist bias, the conception of the consumer as an eat-er ignores the systemic disablement of fed-ers, and the multispecies injustices that emerge from current food systems. Inspired by disability justice work, cultural economy and food systems thinking we propose that accepting limits and boundedness as part of an intrinsically disabled human condition generates new paradigms and associated leverage points for food systems change.
