Food slut

People say great food is like great sex. But after two years of reviewing trendy restaurants, chatting with charming chefs, and indulging in fatted duck breast, I've lost my appetite.

    Fooooood Fighhhht !

    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.
