If our ancestors were to watch over us, then my grandmother’s Scottish ancestors would be absolutely bewildered at the sight before them. At one of their first dinners as a couple, my mother and dad introduced their respective parents to each other. An Iraqi Jew married to my British grandmother, two Mexican Jews and their Mexican Jewish son, and my mother.
If our ancestors could have died twice, they might have.

Notes
Food-Fueled is an undergraduate research journal centered around food-related topics as an extension of American University’s RECIPES project. Funded by the National Science Foundation, RECIPES brings together over 40 researchers working at 15 institutions in order to advance the science needed to make our wasteful food system more sustainable, equitable, and resilient. Food-Fueled aims to publish works on food-related issues ranging from policy to food science, to personal narratives about the influence of food, nature, and agriculture.
This work was supported by NSF Grant # 2115405 SRS RN: Multiscale RECIPES (Resilient, Equitable, and Circular Innovations with Partnership and Education Synergies) for Sustainable Food Systems. Findings and conclusions reported within Food-Fueled are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
