Double Take for 2013 - Two social essays: Between Gourmet Dinners and Ration Cards / Crumbs of capitalism for you and me

The global food system is badly broken and is failing millions of people around the world. Food insecurity occurs not only in Africa and Asia, it also exists in the USA where food stamp usage is at an all-time high. Policy decisions made today, affect what kind of food security scenarios will prevail in the near future. In this sense, attaining food security emerges as a fundamentally political enterprise. To better understand the political issues such an enterprise must address, it is important to identify the sources of social and economic inequalities, as they play a critical role in defining access to the political spehre. Securing and expanding and enduringly securing such space(s), is a disitinctly political task as expressed by the emergent, momentarily semi-dormant 'Occupy Now' movements.
