  Don't trash Joel Stein. He's on our side!

  If you-all are serious when you bash Joel Stein, it's a shame because deep down, he wasn't bashing locavores. In fact, his essay is (I think) a tongue-in-cheek critique of people who indulge in long-distance dining without know the true consequences of such indulgence. And, Tom Philpott, I'm nearly certain Joel Stein knew what he was saying when he wrote, "Farmers in Southern California, it seems, can grow anything." He's well aware of the bounty to be had in one's backyard, and I imagine he appreciates that bounty. He's just tired of hearing earnest sermons on the virtues of local eating, and he decided to poke some fun. That's what he does, after all.On Joel Stein of Time takes a poke at the locavores posted 1 year, 9 months ago 10 Responses
