Slow Food Nation by Alice Waters (in The Nation)

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060911/waters

This is a great piece by Alice Waters about our culture of food and the common missive lobbed at food activists that organic is “elitist”. Waters counters criticisms about organic food being too expensive by noting we overlook that fact that “pound for pound, [organic] peaches … cost less than Twinkies”. She writes that corporate food is artificially cheap and “every decision we make about food has personal and global repercussions”. Amen to that.
