Resumen del Editor

Food is a conduit for connection; we envision smiling families gathered around a table-eating, happy, content. But what happens when poverty, mental illness, homelessness, and addiction claim a seat at that table? In The Meth Lunches, Kim Foster peers behind the polished visions of perfectly curated dinners and charming families to reveal the complex reality when poverty and food intersect.

Whether it's heirloom vegetables or a block of neon-yellow government cheese, food is both a basic necessity and a nuanced litmus test: what and how we eat reflects our communities, our cultures, and our place in the world. The Meth Lunches gives a glimpse into the lives of people living in Foster's Las Vegas community—the grocery store cashier who feels safer surrounded by food after surviving a childhood of hunger; the inmate baking a birthday cake with coffee creamer and Sprite; the unhoused woman growing scallions in the slice of sunlight on her passenger seat. This is what food looks like in the lives of real people.

The Meth Lunches reveals stories of dysfunction intertwined with hope, of the insurmountable obstacles and fierce determination all playing out on the plates of ordinary Americans. It's a bold invitation to pull up a chair and reconsider our responsibilities to the most vulnerable among us. Welcome to the table.

well written

I enjoyed the personal stories and the statistics. there was way too much preaching about the same thing. it was hard to stay interested with so much preaching.

A tapestry of humanity in the heart of Las Vegas

Kim Foster, gawd, I love your writing! imho, THE METH LUNCHES should be used as a primer for 21st century humanity bc somewhere along the way to The Future, we have collectively forgotten how to be a community and truly care for one another. This tapestry of personal, private stories, told through your voice and heart and eyes, is a collection of loving, life lessons for all of us on how to be a mensch, how to (re)build community, and how to truly empathize with others — as well as a crash course on psychology and mental illness and poverty and the effects and impacts all of it has on individuals and families and economies and communities. Thank you. And Bravo! ❤️
