Food culture in the United States is a complex monster. The number of factors that influence the culture around what and how we eat is dizzying at it simplest. Though one issue that is particularly relevant to the vegan population is the genderization of foods. Essentially, the associations made through pop culture between certain food groups and their masculinity or femininity can have a profound effect on the collective perception of what we should eat. In this article, however, I’d like to focus more specifically on “what men should eat.”
