laphamsquarterly: “It’s unlikely that most serious food reformers think America can or should dismantle our industrial food system and return to an agrarian way of life. But the idea that ‘Food used to be better’ so pervades the rhetoric about what ails our modern food system that it is hard not to conclude that rolling back the clock would provide at least some of the answers. The trouble is, it wouldn’t. And even if it would, the prospect of a return to Green Acres just isn’t very appealing to a lot of people who know what life there is really like.” —Brent Cunningham on the problems with foodie nostalgia, from “Pastoral Romance” in our brand-new Summer 2011 issue, Food
