You aren’t what you eat

A family gathered around a series of vending machines

Amongst all the goodness in the first issue of the New Inquiry magazine, one article in particular stood out – The Resentment Machine, by Freddy De Boer. It is available in full in that link back there, so you should probably read that rather than this, but anyway, it challenged me in all number of ways (I should probably offer some sort of summary here, but even after multiple readings I won’t do it justice and you’d be better off just reading the real thing, or failing that reading what follows in the next paragraph…), but one quote near the end particularly got to me.

Encona Creole Pepper SauceOK, let’s strike while the iron is hot and all that. Here comes the first hot sauce review! Whoo! It is, of course, at this point that I give you the disclaimer that these posts are going to be basically filler (if they appear at all), and are unlikely to be 1,000-2,000 word ruminations on The State Of Hot Sauce In The World Today.
