Does your food have "sazón," or has it been transformed into a monocultural phenomenon for likes? In the Season 1 finale of Global Roots Rambles, we explore how viral food trends are creating a "hyper-flattening" of culture, where visual shock and cheese pulls replace context. The #food category now gets more weekly views than Netflix has worldwide subscribers. But what is the cost to our heritage?
In this Spanglish episode, we ask: Do you remember the roots of a dish, or just the trailer with a filter? We uncover the hidden stories behind hard-shell tacos and mac-and-cheese, revealing the "surplus politics" and colonial history written in our daily flavors.
Key Takeaways:
(01:48) How Do Viral Food Trends Affect Cultural Recipes?
(04:28) What is the Connection Between Comfort Food and Colonialism?
(07:04) How is Social Media Shaping Our Food Culture?
(11:15) Why is Ancestral Wisdom Key to Food Sustainability?
(14:00) How Can We Build a Sustainable Food Future?
