<h3>About the video</h3>
<p class="about-text">
"Is It Time to Eat, or Is there No More Time to Eat" is a video essay that complements my research on meal replacements. As opposed to a broader look on the topic, the video essay focuses on the issue of solving problems through the means of techno-solutionism. It's built in the form of a vlog which responds to and exists in the same space as the sea of reviews, unpacking and tasting videos that exist around meal replacements.

Discussing the gender politics of cooking, Pollan wonders: Was home cooking denigrated because the work was mostly done by women, or did women get stuck doing most of the cooking because our culture denigrated the work? (Pollan, 2014). Men often had
a privileged position when it comes to their cooking practice - mostly with meat, outdoors, seen as entertainment, while womens cooking happened behind closed kitchen doors. Today, most of the world-renowned chefs, the ones who win

The phrase <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="woman_place" title="A woman's place">a womans place is in the kitchen</span>, or the home, has been traced back as far as Ancient Greeces Aeschylus.

example of this belief in <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="leave_it" title="Leave it to the Beaver">a clip from Leave it to Beaver</span>, a popular 50s American sitcom.

In this performance piece, set in a typical kitchen, Martha Rosler manipulates kitchen tools with sudden, violent gestures,
sometimes even performing useless tasks such as pretending to throw the contents of a spoon over her shoulder. Her piece is meant to express the frustration of women being stuck doing domestic labour, which is taken for granted.
It is also a parody of the cooking shows of the time, particularly the one hosted by an always cheerful Julia Child. In her mock culinary show, she is no longer a cheerful performer, but uses the tools that have been assigned to
her as an expression of anger and frustration: when the woman speaks, she names her own oppression (Rosler, 1975). Her piece shows that gender roles enforced traditionally within the household can be oppressive, especially when
the labour of women is devalued and regarded as trivial.

As both men and women have been finding their place within the workforce, sharing the workload within the home has increased slightly. However, even in homes where both partners work full-time, the majority of chores and administrative tasks still fall
on the womans shoulders, either mentally, or in practice.

Today, technology corporations provide more options. Rather than sharing the work equally, both the mental load and the actual chores can be automated, to some extent, through technological solutions. No longer framed explicitly as womens work, but continuing
to be (de)valued as such, tasks such as cooking can be facilitated through various apps. From a tool of oppression directed at women, food becomes a task delegated to gig workers by startups and other corporations. Regarding food
as a tool of oppression has opened the way for many solutions, some more realistic than others. The automation of food and cooking has been a recurrent topic of conversation and space for imagination both within social movements,
and in popular culture.</p>

such as, genomics, the quantified self and biohacking. These are also a result of the frustration of not being able to change some aspects of life, such as the need to eat, rest, and the inevitability of death. Within the small circles

Rather than discussing the physical characteristics of one product or another, my analysis focuses on the broader context in which these products have developed, highlights the patterns of techno-solutionism that I've identified as problematic, and deconstructs their benefit claims and potential for becoming increasingly relevant in today's Western societies. At the same time, having experienced such a diet myself, it also represents a situated look at what replacing food entails.
</p>
<p>
I've become interested in meal replacements because the concept of rejecting food as inefficient, and replacing it with an ultra-processed powder, however many nutrients it contained, intrigued me. I found the idea to be completely alien, so far removed
from my values and desires, that I had to look deeper. I ended up writing an essay, following the historical path and cultural patterns that led to the growth of a culture, an ideology, a community around the act of replacing one
of the most basic human habits.

of the most basic human habits. In addition to the text, I translated my research into a video essay, which focuses on the techno-solutionist aspects of meal replacements: the problems they claim to address, and the solutions they put forward.

Below, you will find excerpts of my essay, split into the main topics covered in my research. Scattered throughout the text are images, references, articles, quotes and video snippets, some extracted from my own video essay, which together build
a complex image of the world of meal replacements.
