“…Broad (2020) similarly notes the emphasis on protein, is "demonstrative of what Scrinis (2008) deems the ideology of 'nutritionism,' a way of understanding food as the sum of its quantitative profile of nutrient components, a belief system that has incentivized the production and consumption of nutritionally engineered processed foods" (p. 924). He also writes that "protein operates as a powerful metaphor in and of itself, not simply a class of organic compounds but also an evolving category of nutritionally powerful, meaty foods" (p. 924), here noting that protein's special status also derives from its associations with red meat, which in turn is strongly associated with masculinity and strength (see also Adams 2015;Chiles and Fitzgerald 2018). While Broad retains a focus on how meat substitutes are made thinkable, Sexton et al (2019) draw on Scrinis to take it a step further, pointing out that protein is coming to be treated as a food category in its own right (p. 54), representing an important step in achieving investibility.…”

“…Over the past decades, a vast body of literature has emerged on the barriers and enablers to eat less animal products and to adopt veg*n diets (Corrin and Papadopoulos, 2017;Graça et al, 2019;Taufik et al, 2019), with important work on the history of meat-eating (Leroy and Praet, 2015;Chiles and Fitzgerald, 2018), reviews on the psychology of veg*nism (Ruby, 2012;Rosenfeld, 2018) and systematic reviews on interventions to reduce meat eating (Bianchi, Dorsel, et al, 2018a;Bianchi, Garnett, et al, 2018b;Harguess et al, 2020;Kwasny et al, 2022).…”

“…This critical line of research specifically sets out to study how "the production, distribution and consumption of meat is encoded within a cultural context" (Williams 1999, 154). With the social-historical recognition of meat-eating as deeply variable and contextually embedded (Chiles and Fitzgerald 2018), the political economy of meat surfaces as inseparable from the psychosocial process in which humans come to view animal flesh as edible food (Dowsett et al 2018;Joy 2010). The entailed theorization accordingly construes the function of speciesism-the hierarchical division between human and non-human animals-as an ideological scaffolding for the intensified commodification of meat.…”
