Quote of the Day

| | Comments (0)
"There's an obvious line that I can see being drawn in the world of food.  While many people won't want to take a side I think that there isn't really a choice.  We have a group of people that recognize that people have been hunting and gathering since forever.  It's in our nature to hunt animals and fish, cooking is really an evolutionary tool we developed to overcome plant and animal defenses.  This group appreciates the food that we've been eating since before the industrial revolution (If it ain't broke don't fix it) and is skeptical of improvements to nature's design.  I believe I fall into this group.  While a butter making machine is very cool, I image hand churned butter tasting better and being more satisfying to eat.  My understanding of my preference for this is that I have a better connection to what I'm eating.

 The care that went into the butter, the attention to detail, the fact that grass-fed beef is beef from a cow that lived life how nature intended. In short the other side is the group who doesn't buy into that and appreciates things like molecular gastronomy (bullshit gimmicks), nitrogen ice cream, Monsant, Vitamin enriched cereal, Fast-Food, Cheesecake Factory, and all the other 'innovations' of the last 50 years.  If that sounds one sided, that's because it is.  Fuck it, start your own site."
