Food tribes are on the rise.
|
A denigrating statement. To denigrate is to belittle, disparage, sully, defame, to treat as of lacking value or importance. The term "food tribe" translates into "tribe of food". "Of food" can mean a lot of things. Made of, believes in, holds such, allows such, forbids such, consumes such, produces such, distributes such, knows such, etc.
Who is the IFIC and is it a food tribe - a tribe of food - as well? By all measures, it is. Based on its mission statement, the IFIC knows of food. By its financial support, it represents producers and providers of food, yet other types of tribes of food. For all intents and purposes, the IFIC is a public front for for-profit groups.
That's one tribe of food bashing other tribes of food just because the other tribes of food don't wanna buy their stuff. Maybe I'm just cynical, but that's how the whole thing looks to me.
