Michael Ruhlman mulls over whether food writing is important
September 25, 2012 by LindsayOver at the HuffPost, Michael Ruhlman has a very thoughtful essay carrying on a discussion that should strike a chord with all our members. He simply asks “Is Food Writing Important?” We’ll leave it to you to read his insightful comments, but couldn’t help but reproduce the following – a mantra I believe we all can stand behind:
“I dream of a day when we no longer need to be obsessed with food, because that would mean that we had figured it out, we had all come to a common understanding of how to grow our food, distribute it, and consume it in ways that don’t make us sick and crazy, but rather healthy and happy; that, rather than being guilty, fearful, and intimidated by food, we instead rejoiced in food; that we would cook together, with our families and friends, and then sit down to share this cared-for food and tell each other the stories of our day.”
Bring on the food storytellers.
