The cultural, ethical and spiritual dimensions of food

God Forbid - A podcast by ABC listen - Fridays

Food is central to human society. We celebrate with food and we commiserate with food. At its most essential level, food keeps us alive. But today, food is also a commodity. For many Australians the cost of food is becoming an increasing strain, but for others, dining can be a symbol of wealth. Then there's also our ever-evolving diet culture. On God Forbid, James Carleton and our panel examine our cultural, ethical, and even spiritual relationship with food.
