The Atlantic - Bringing America to the Table: How to Get People Interested in Food

Author Helene York bemoans the recent flood of books about the food industry, calling them overly dire and negative, and claiming that they are "preaching to the choir" of food journalists, activists, and conscious consumers. She insists that "for the food system to change meaningfully, Mr. and Mrs. Average American have to tune in eventually." And the solution to getting through to them is not requiring them to read "ominous tomes." Instead, York suggests three alternate angles that will get the American masses to care about their food: gardening, health, humor.
