Breaking the Union

Coye, this looks like compelling material--I wonder what kinds of issues are raised by food movements borrowing this political/labor connection.  Does it mean that food, along with the personal, is always political?  And what kinds of politics are being represented here?--I imagine most people would associate things like slow food, etc with an upwardly mobile class position, whereas traditional union movements have often been on behalf of dispossessed individuals.  Does that make this a kind of class appropriation?--or is Big Agra always in the bourgeois position?
