An excerpt:

Here in the Foodie Bubble, we forget that not everyone spends their
free time chasing down raw milk producers or waiting for the perfect
tomato. Most people grab a jar of spaghetti sauce off the grocery
store shelf.

Yes, yes, in our ideal world, everyone would loooove to cook, we’d all
make our own pickles from robust vegetables grown on our southern-
facing wall, have pygmy goats that sleep in the garage so we could
milk them for our coffee, no one would ever forget their reusable
grocery bags, corporations would genuinely care about what they fed
us, everything would have a positive environmental impact, and we’d
all have reservations at 8 at Momofuku.

But listen up, Foodies. That will never happen. And it’s Foodie Bubble
talk to think otherwise. When we forget that, that’s our failure.
