First of all, this is a Great piece. It is NOT just someone whining about their great job. Read it AGAIN, people. This is a story about our CULTURE, and one of the ways in which we are going WRONG. This is a story about the fetish-izing of food, the separation of food from it's function as NOURISHMENT, and the emptiness that that separation brings about. The author details the seduction (and emptiness) she herself underwent, not to COMPLAIN, but to demonstrate that she herself was not immune to, nor above seduction. Moving on, I heartily agree with the comments from others which say: I am interested in the organic pig farm, the resurgance of beets, the trendy restaurant that feeds the homeless. I would love to read these articles, and I hope Ann Bauer gets to write them for some publication. Great food writing isn't solely about food, just as great erotic writing isn't solely about isolated reproductive organs. Also, I REALLY think Harri Covert should change her name to Harri Dan. HA HA HA HA HA HA. Look it up, Harri !!!
