Subject: Re: Re: value and gender



Joanna and Jurriaan,

Hello.  Low-priced food lets bosses pay low wages to workers.  The price,
not taste, of this crappy food is what makes it central to relations between
capitalists and the rest of us.

Regards,
Seth Sandronsky

Hi Joanna,

(clip)

Cheaper food is not necessarily better food. I read this anecdote once
about a doctor who, when making housecalls, always went and shook the
cook's hand first for giving him good business. If you eat crap, you'll
save on food costs (maybe) but possibly see the doctor more often than
those who eat healthily.

I don't know if that is good or bad, but anyway it is not true and more a middleclass or bourgeois prejudice.
