About Rebel Roots

Today’s food system feels like a conveyor belt, feeding us the same handful of foods repeatedly. Supermarkets focus on shelf life, appearance, and shipping ease—not flavor. Along the way, we’ve lost the connection to the land, people, and stories behind our food. Diversity is sidelined, and taste has become an afterthought. But it doesn’t have to be this way. As consumers, we hold the power to dig deeper: Who grew this? How was it grown? Where is it from? By rebuilding connections with farmers, local sellers, and food itself, we can rediscover flavor, embrace variety, and make choices that nourish our bodies and environment. Change doesn’t require a revolution. Start small. Visit local markets. Ask questions. Try seasonal, unfamiliar ingredients. Each step brings you closer to the real story of food and how it connects us all. At Rebel Roots, we’re here to learn alongside you. We celebrate diversity and uncover food’s hidden stories, helping you reconnect with the roots of what you eat—one zine at a time. Let’s ditch the dull and rediscover the roots. Read their story
