Free Online Talk · Holy Food: Recipes and Foodways from Cults, Communes, and New Religious Movements with Food Historian Christina Ward

FREE! Learn more and RSVP HERE

Join independent food historian and vice-president of Feral House Christina Ward for an exploration of the influence of fringe religious and spiritual beliefs in modern American food culture. Ward unravels the numerous ways religious beliefs intersect with politics and economics and—of course, food—to tell a different story of America. It's the story of true believers and charlatans, of idealists and visionaries, and of the everyday people who followed them—often at their peril.
