The bunny vs. the blue box
Annie's Homegrown Macaroni & Cheese is the pantry staple of harried, organo-hipster parents everywhere. But is it any healthier than the day-glo noodles of our white-bread childhoods?
By Anastacia Marx de Salcedo [2007-01-30]

  • Gospel of Food

    I highly recommend everyone read Barry Glassner's new Gospel of Food, subtitled Everything You Think You Know About Food is Wrong. An antidote to all the received wisdom of the food police who insist that all the tasty ingredients in our diet are bad for us (wrong), that fast food is inherently fattier and more caloric than the food in fine restaurants (wrong), and that our upper-middle class diet is the way to go for our lower-class brethren (wrong, but ongoing for a hundred years).

    Galssner is a sociologist from USC who wrote The Culture of Fear. I am a food snob who enjoyed being taken down a notch by this book.
