Enough corn! Unless, of course, you’re talking about white corn grown in Brentwood or the CA Delta region. Corn for syrup, for cars, for sweetness is something else. It’s so reflective of us as a culinary people in the USA. Sweet but not healthy to ourselves, to others, or to the world around us.

Bring on the craft cheese. Taste the land in the cheese, from the Swiss Alps to other cheese producing regions found in the world cheese can be connected to place. Taste most cheeses from the US and it us usually an attempt to taste like something from Europe. May the craft cheese makers open up new areas for our tongues. In the end, the chunk of cheese described in the story was small but craft cheese makers, like craft brewers might be our salvation as a culinary people. Save me. I would love to see the movie in Berkeley.
