BONUS: Food As A Weapon In War
Saturday, 9 August, 2025
Trigger Warning: This episode references war, famine, starvation & rape. We are back this week to discuss something extremely important & sensitive that could not wait until the season resumes. We're unpacking the dark side of food, not as sustenance, but as a weapon. From the longstanding famine crisis in Sudan to the escalating emergency in Gaza, we explore how food scarcity is not always accidental, but often a deliberate tool of war and control. What exactly is a famine? Why does it happen and what makes it so devastating? Join us as we confront the politics of hunger, the human cost of food insecurity, and why recognising the true causes of famine is only the first step toward justice & change.Useful Resources & Further Reading Ethiopia: Conflict & food insecurity 40 years on from the 1984 famineTimeline: 54 years of hunger as a weapon of warUsing starvation as a weapon of war in Sudan must stopWhy isn't the world paying attention to Sudan?What really caused the Irish potato famine?Food as a weapon of warSubscribe to RELISH. by Sonder & Salt on Patreon: patreon.com/sonderandsalt Follow the podcast for updates and video content Instagram, TikTok and YouTube!
