Read other letters about this article
This article has certainly been a Rorschach
Magnet for all sorts of responses. Those letters which show an understanding that the
author was writing about a society of trendy foodies and star chefs which she observed from up
close are letters which are worth having read.
Those writers who percieved her dismay at the food
porn she was instructed to write have understood
one of her points. Those writers who think she
was praising foodie-ism and foodporn clearly lack
the basic reading-comprehension skills to enable
them to write a useful letter, or even to think a
useful thought.
I hope Salon decides to run one of her 'wanted-
to-submit' articles; such as the one on that organic pig farm, say. And based on that, see how
many people would want to see more such articles.
