Imagine that you die and go to Heaven and stand in front of a jury made up of Thomas Jefferson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Your task would be to compose yourself, look them in the eye, and say, I was all about fresh, local, and seasonal. Hilarity from John Lanchester in the New Yorkers Food Issue. He argues that our twee forms of foodie political activism are essentially irrelevant outside the first world sphere of privilege, and that there is no way to feed the worlds population without heavily expanding industrial agriculture. Given the current atmosphere of contention around GMOs / farming policies on my island home, Im particularly interested in Lanchesters questions, and what they mean for urban and global communities. Farmers? Friends? Thoughts? Cc Evan Goldstein Ryan Summer Starr Gabrielle Anderman (for BC) Shannon Wianecki Suryamayi Aswini Claire Gagne et al.
