Cultivating Failure - The Atlantic
My reaction when first I came across this article: “Another piece taking down Alice Waters bwahahahahaha- oh, fuck. Caitlin Flanagan wrote it.”
She’s so stupid and awful. Her argument against in-school gardening programs is quite racist (Mexican kids have to farm anyway!…What? And…in the Berkeley school district?). And then, to make her point that urban areas are juuuust fine on the grocery store front, she goes to a Ralph’s in LA and explains that she bought corn and state-grown grapes and nectarines. Which means she was there in August. August, California, where local produce can be grown. Caitlin, honey? Is this the norm?
I cannot stand people who make me side with Alice Waters.
