So I'm really interested in thinking about eating in general, and all of the different ways that eating matters, ethically, so, you know, I sometimes describe my research as at the intersection of bioethics and food ethics, but I actually like don't care that much about food. I think there's, there's a lot of good work out there about like the ethics of food production and distribution, and, you know, food sovereignty and all of that stuff. But I actually think that eating as an activity is super ethically rich and complex, and in ways that are often like just not recognized or under appreciated. So just, for example, in bioethics, when we talk about eating and the ethics of eating, it's often really flattened out into either, you know, it, eating matters ethically, because it's an instrumental way of achieving health or promoting health. And it matters ethically, because it's a way to express our autonomy, you know, freedom of choice, you know, and you get this old and like, I'm sure everyone who listens, this podcast probably feels similar to me, it's like very tired way of setting up bioethical problems, and it's just like health versus autonomy, you know? Yeah. And so I'm really interested in thinking about, okay, but what are all the other ways that eating matters ethically, you know, and I'm not saying autonomy is not important. And so it's health, right. But there are just a lot of other ways in which eating matters to us as humans. And so part of my overall research project is just to enrich our understandings and our conversations about eating, and to help us make better judgments about what counts as good eating and good eaters. So one of the ways I think it matters is in relation to temporality. So that's kind of where this paper, you know, I think there's some really interesting work in phenomenology that's like pointing us toward that, that I drawn in the paper, but the implications of that for people who care about, you know, feminist food ethics, feminist bioethics, you know, the ethics of intervening on people's eating, I didn't see that being, you know, acknowledged at all. So, I was kind of just motivated to bring these resources from this other area of philosophy into, to try to kind of bring it into these other areas of conversation are where people care about the ethics of eating, but the ethical richness of eating and a lot of the literature is quite thin, I guess is the right way to put that there are some people in food ethics and bioethics who are trying to enrich our understanding of of eating beyond that sort of health versus autonomy thing and, you know, and Barnhill is one person who's been working on this a bit and she has a new book with Matteo Bernardi. about it that's like centrally, like eating matters, Food Matters for all of these reasons. And, you know, public health folks really need to take this seriously. And I think that's great. But the one issue that I have with with their approach is that it's a very, it very much presupposes, like a liberal subjects, like somebody who has already a set of values, plans, preferences, goals, and eating is a way to, you know, achieve or sort of instantiate a lot of different goals. But I think that eating also is a way to to shape our subjectivity shape ourselves in ways that isn't really captured by that view, you know, the ways that we eat and understand eating, and so think about ourselves as eaters. I really think they inform what we care about our preferences or values or self understandings, as well as our temporality, which is what I argue here. Which then like structures, even what kinds of eating or seem possible, or like, appeal to us. So that's something that I really want to add to this conversation. Like, I think it's not just about saying, you know, eating matters in more ways than folks have been acknowledging, because it does, but it also is a way of shaping the self. And I think that sort of like dynamic processes, you know, familiar to a lot of feminists who who work on agency and those sorts of, you know, relational autonomy and those sorts of issues, but the role that eating plays there, I think has been under discussed.
