Food Politics, by Shelley Lance/ Blog Editor
On his Politics of the Plate website, Barry Estabrook writes about the people who will be hurt the most by the freezing weather in Florida. Not the consumers, not not the growers… the people who will really suffer are the migrant farm workers who harvest our food. Read “Florida Farm Workers Left Out in the Cold.”
(By the way, Barry used to be a regular contributor to Gourmet magazine, which used to have the best food politics articles of any glossy, foodie magazine. Another reason I still miss Gourmet.)
Also, many thanks to Ed Levine of Serious Eats and his wife, Vicky Bijur (in her Serious Eats writing debut!), for their articulate rebuttal to that absurd Atlantic Monthly magazine piece. Read the Levine/Bijur argument here: “Alice Waters-Edible Schoolyard Takedown in the Altlantic Monthly is Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.”
