There are many times I critic Paleo and the existing isms that are within the Paleo industry. For example, most of the folks who have Paleo books are (mostly) white, appear middle class and heterosexual. You know me. I think about these things. I think about the intersection of class and Paleo as well as race and Paleo. Most of the products that are "Paleo friendly" are made by white folks.
Well, as I've said in a previous post, I bought Siete Tortillas. When I exclaimed my excitement to my partner, I was met with resistance because of the common assumption that Paleo is white. I was SO excited to share the story of Siete with her! So here it is:
Veronica, of Siete Family Foods battles an autoimmune disease and her family came together to support her transition to new foods. She made these tortillas that are praised within this world. I'm SO excited for them to arrive today that I want to make all the things! I love Mexican food and often times grin and bear the consumption of corn tortillas but I won't have to any longer! I'm SO excited.
Check them out. I'll make some good food this weekend, photograph it and let ya know how it goes!
