  let them eat kale

  One of the few legitimate criticisms against the local foods 'movement' (for lack of a better word) is that it is the province of privileged white liberal snobs and has little connection to the real lives of real people. Thanks to Pollan and Waters, there is no longer any defending local foods against this criticism -- they've proven it to be true in the most profoundly insensitive, insulated, privileged manner possible. The dirty masses have no bread? Let them eat cake kale... organic and local of course.

  I wouldn't have thought it was possible for anyone to be that ignorant of what life is like for people living in lower socioeconomic circumstances. I guess the divide has become so great the concept of 'hardship' doesn't even register in the minds of people like Pollan and Waters.On Why Michael Pollan and Alice Waters should quit celebrating food-price hikes posted 1 year, 7 months ago 27 Responses
