Capitalism and the Body

We all have bodies... how can we use them to make money? What are the moral implications of selling access to our bodies and our body parts? While the liberal feminists scream "lean in!" and "ra ra capitalism," how do feminists critical of the patriarchy and capitalism conceptualize hierarchy and consent? This is an in-depth, colourful, uncompromising, sexy essay about the gruesome world of bioethics and body horror! Neil Farrell explores this thorny, controversial topic, all while making a recipe for vegan seitan wings.

Stir until water is evenly spread through the mixture, and add seasonings. These are optional and added to taste, but the MSG is the most critical. Let sit for 30 minutes or until mixture is the texture of chewing gum (or gak, remember gak?). Form into loose ball and boil uncovered in vegetable stock on high heat for 1.5 hours. When finished, slice into thin strips. In frypan, heat oil on medium to medium-high heat. Add strips of seitan and fry until golden and crispy. In bowl, mix sauce ingredients. Again, this is to individual tastes. Once strips are fried, coat with sauce on both sides. Serve immediately.
