ABSTRACT In grappling for ways to respond to existence within permanently polluted worlds, this article asks: what does it mean to be good food for others? Where do all the chemicals and heavy metals go? What are the distributed effects? How might we hack legacies of toxic inheritance? What alternative practices and values are needed? This article explores the ways in which artists complicate death/food relations and nourishment through their express acknowledgement of chemically burdened bodies. In doing so, it draws on and extends Val Plumwood’s analytic of viewing humans as ‘being prey’ in the context of a feminist ethics of care and what Maria Puig de la Bellacasa refers to as ‘more caring affective ecologies’. Ultimately, it suggests that speculating on becoming prey and wanting to be good food for others – whether this is for a crocodile, fish, mushrooms or microbes in the soil – can propose new ways of configuring our relationships with human and more-than-human others in terms of toxicity and care.

关怀、毒物和被猎物：我想成为别人的好食物

摘要 在努力寻找在永久污染的世界中生存的方法时，本文提出了一个问题：成为他人的好食物意味着什么？所有的化学物质和重金属都去哪儿了？什么是分布式效应？我们如何破解有毒遗传的遗产？需要哪些替代实践和价值观？这篇文章探讨了艺术家通过他们对化学负载身体的明确承认，使死亡/食物关系和营养复杂化的方式。在这样做时，它借鉴并扩展了 Val Plumwood 的分析，即在女权主义关怀伦理的背景下将人类视为“猎物”，以及 Maria Puig de la Bellacasa 所说的“更关怀的情感生态”。最终，它表明推测成为猎物并希望成为他人的好食物——无论是鳄鱼，
