technicat reviewed We Are What We Eat by Alice Waters
The food sounds great but the book comes off as snobby and elitish
I stopped reading about halfway through. I'm all for crafted, organic, farm to table food, but, as it says in the title, this is a manifesto, and the anti fast food diatribe (and by fast food she means just about any other type of food) reminds me of a Swedish colleague who asked me why poor people eat at McDonalds while we dined at a nice Thai place that cost several times as much for a meal. And a book that continuously cites health and anti-health claims should list some sources.
