Lucy Aphramor (they/them) is a radical dietitian who puts a critical spin on food beliefs many of us take for granted. Lucy explains how structural inequalities and white supremacy are core risk factors for disease and shows us how narrow and oppressive – and racist – the dominant Euro-American notion of health really is. We interviewed Lucy for this issue of Rooted because we feel this perspective is valuable in the exploration of the theme of health and agroecology.
