Abstract

Bowker and Star (1999) remind us that there is a moral and ethical agenda involved in querying classifications. In this paper I discuss how we can apply this argument to everyday life classifications, such as government produced food guides, in order to investigate the moral and ethical choices that are built into these technologies. While scholars have shown that everyday life classification processes can point out the limitations of everyday life classification technologies, in this paper I discuss how the food classificatory practices of 18 Canadian registered dietitians reinforce the understandings of health offered by Canada's food guide, at times to the detriment of those with non-standard understandings of health. While, in this study, registered dietitians'understandings of health did not address the limitations of Canada's food guide, I also discuss registered dietitians' suggestions for how the food guide could be modified to accommodate non-standard understandings of health. Similar to Olson's (2002) techniques for breaching limits, these suggestions offer a starting point for developing an ethical relationship with those individuals and communities whose understandings of health are not represented by the food guide.
