Loyola professor claims organized pantries are rooted in ‘racist and sexist’ social structures
The new 'pantry porn' trend is a modern status symbol for White women, the Chicago professor says

Kathie Lee Gifford is sharing the inside of her kitchen where she will be cooking for her family on Thanksgiving.

The recent TikTok trend of showing off perfectly organized and styled home pantries is rooted in a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures, according to one Chicago professor.


Through her research at Loyola University, Associate Professor of Marketing Jenna Drenten noticed a recent uptick in what she calls "pantry porn," a plethora of social media videos where women show off their fully stocked kitchen and methodically organized home supplies.

While minimalist designs used to represent an anti-consumption mindset of using less and buying less, the "new minimalism," according to Drenten, means "more is more," so long as it is not dirty or cluttered.

Historically, Drenten says that tidiness is intertwined with status and a person’s messiness often breeds assumptions about a person’s capacity to be responsible and respectable.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
While being organized isn't necessarily reflected in some OCD ideation of everything all in neat rows, (to me, it is being able to find what you want/need when you want/need it, despite superficial appearances of chaos), the maintenance of relatively neat and organized supplies for the possibility of adverse events is prudent, and reflects an ability to contingency plan.

Being a slob is just being a slob at some point. I didn't realize being a slob was a racial characteristic.

Good thing we have all these learned folks out there to set us straight.  *****rollingeyes*****

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Does this nitwit assume black women, Asian women, native American women, etc., are incapable of organization and neatness? Sounds kind of stereotypical.

Just because not all pantries contain buried crocks of Kimchi or vats of pickled pig's feet doesn't mean they are racist. Sheesh. *****rollingeyes*****

“Associate Professor of Marketing Jenna Drenten”

How many have heard of this person until she made such a ridiculous statement ? Probably nobody beyond her circle of friends and family.

But because of social media, people like her get to say the most outrageous things, and then people will know them
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
