He says none of it adds up to food but is just a chemical nostalgia. link
Janice Norris quoting Bruce Weinstein in her article Let’s Take Back Out Country. Her story is an excellent read. She is convinced that eating real food can make us lose our taste for the fake stuff.
That is something I can attest to personally. After years of eating a less than healthy diet, I made some changes in the way I ate and lived. Those changes affected my tastes.
I will never forget the moment in the produce section that I walked past the tomato bin and was struck by a completely foreign idea. I wanted a tomato. I’d never wanted a tomato in my life before. In fact, I’d check everything that might have tomato on it before I’d dive in. Quite frankly, maybe “inspected” everything is more accurate than “checked”. I was serious about not eating tomato.
Today, I love tomato. I make sure to get them for salads, burgers, and anything else they can go on. I’ve had the same experience with mushrooms and other foods.
Janice is right on target.
