At the same time, I myself have performed similar, less-tactful proselytizing in my mother's kitchen at the sight of pre-grated parmesan or pressed lunchmeat. The point is, in order to win over the masses, the local/sustainable movement needs more diverse (dare I say younger?) representation -- aptly illustrated by the popularity of CT's man-of-the-people perspective.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Ruth Reichl is one of my heroes. She may be a black-clad New Yorker, but she used to live and cook in an almost-commune in Berkeley and is a fantastic writer. I wholeheartedly agree with her commentary about sustainable seafood as well -- check out www.seafoodwatch.org.eekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066008299991653232noreply@blogger.com
