After expanding on the various pillars of food justice, Patrilie, the session facilitator, will guide session participants through a historical timeline, starting with the emergence of food insecurity in America into the public eye during the Civil Rights movement, ending with specific examples of how weight bias and anti-fatness interfere with working towards inclusive food justice.
