Résumé

This paper undertakes a feminist analysis of the politics of restructuring through a discussion of the so-called "Tsubouchi Diet", an Ontario government document that tried to show that welfare recipients can feed themselves on a mere $90.00 a month. The Tsubouchi Diet is deconstructed to reveal a number of'impositional claims' about welfare recipients in general, and implicit, gendered assumptions about women as the primary providers of food for families in particular.
