Post #2 - August 5th, 2015, 12:18 pmFrom the very end of the article linked above . . .What we need is an ethos that comes to terms with contemporary, industrialized food, not one that dismisses it, an ethos that opens choices for everyone, not one that closes them for many so that a few may enjoy their labor, and an ethos that does not prejudge, but decides case by case when natural is preferable to processed, fresh to preserved, old to new, slow to fast, artisanal to industrial.

Post #4 - August 6th, 2015, 6:48 pmAn awful lot of excellent food history, wrapped around a firm philosophical skeleton called out by Ronnie, above. Rachel is an old, dear friend, a fellow philosopher of eating/drinking, not to mention science. The whole article is well worth a careful read. A mythical culinary past? You bet.
GeoSooo, you like wine and are looking for something good to read? Maybe *this* will do the trick!

Post #5 - August 7th, 2015, 11:38 amThis is an excellent article. It's easy to forget that natural things, i.e. plants and animals, have no vested interest in being eaten by us. Anything that is nutritious or delicious is such only because we've spent thousands of years breeding and refining our food sources to be nutritious or delicious. To fetishize a single point in the past, whether it be the pastoral, or paleolithic, or whenever, ignores that food has evolved with us all along.Stickin' together is what good waffles do!
