Within health studies, including global, public, and individual health, food is often understood through rigorous quantification and management, exactness and calculation. Health can purportedly be optimized through tweaking a delicate formula of food groups, calories, and nutrients. Bread, always beloved and maligned, is a prime representation of such health sensibilities. This experimental paper, combining photography and writing, is a commentary on how the obsession with analyzing health at its smallest fragments misses deeper understandings about life and death. The zine seeks to make visible the violent absences of global health structures, actions, and discourses and to embed global health with an analysis of power, history, colonialism, and racial capitalism. Bread, given its history, form, symbolism, materiality, and essence, is an apt vehicle for conceptualizing life in its totality. The zine was inspired by and based around an ethnographic photographic project with a baker in a small village in southern Switzerland. Though the images from this project serve as the starting point and photographic backdrop for the zine, the paper knits together archival and ethnographic vignettes and actors across time and space, most importantly between the Swiss bakery and the ongoing colonization and genocide of Palestine. Other vignettes and meditations include but are not limited to: farmland in Arkansas, war zones, celebrity tweets, international conferences, and major health institutions. Using a series of 25+ images overlaid with text and graphics, the paper blends analysis, examples, and stories in an affective and narrative constellation which is difficult to achieve in a formal research paper.
