Food & Equality in Australia
By Rebecca Huntley

Eating Between the Lines is a different kind of food tour. We live in an age of gastronomic soul-searching. Why is childhood obesity on the rise? Is the traditional family dinner really dying out – and if so, does it matter? Jamie Oliver and Bill Granger have marched into the kitchen, but have Aussie blokes followed? What do the contents of our shopping trolleys tell us about the fair go in Australia today?

In Eating Between the Lines, Rebecca Huntley ventures into the nation’s food courts, supermarkets and suburban kitchens. She speaks to working mums, market gardeners and recently arrived migrants. She asks singles how they feel about eating alone, and considers why the rich and sophisticated have embraced peasant food. Join her on a thought-provoking trip through the deep-fried, sun-dried cold-pressed world of Australian eating.
