Question 1. Many believe that truly addressing inequities in the food system requires going beyond food to address inequities in society. Yet, those social inequities are difficult to change for many reasons. Where would you focus your energy?

Question 2. The authors note that in some cases their discussion of how our food system affects inequalities is speculative (particularly due to a lack of evidence on pathways from broad national and international food systems forces to health inequalities). Do you agree? Why and why not?

Question 3. Julie Guthman's piece, "Foodies on a Mission," is provocative. What you think of her view of a civilizing mission in the alternative-food movement?

Question 4. Patricia Allen writes, "Although local food movements cannot be held responsible for rectifying injustices of the past, neither is it clear how physical geography is a defensible arbiter for boundaries of caring, action, or understanding." Do you think we should have some special responsibility to those who are more local to us?

Question 5. The chapter authors write that it is possible that over the middle and longer term, food system environmental threats might contribute to making the healthy and sustainable choice the affordable choice. Do you agree or disagree?
