Giving the responsibility of the good health for the child to the family, and especially to the mother, biopolitics controls the “innocent and risky” body of the child through a series of disciplinary devices. The mothers who do not follow the food habits considered as socially accepted, who escape the control of expert knowledge and ignore sanitary prescriptions, become the target of social culpability, or mother blaming. In this paper, we define the veg* (vegan or vegetarian) mothers as dissidents, because they resist the power of expert knowledge—mainly medical knowledge—thanks to individual food practices. The veg* forums and communities of practice are the places where veg* mothers can exchange information and reinforce the processes of social identification and of individualisation. The reference to nature and maternal instinct, as guides in the selection of food, is a practice of subjectivation in a territory, that of foodwork, where veg* mothers feel they do not have total control, but only plain responsibility.
