The Hippy Bullshit Is Actually Kind of Nice
You know what? Yes, there is something weird about almond milk being a bodega staple. But also? Almond milk is fucking delicious. And what exactly is so wrong with rooftop farms? And people making their own mayonnaise? And composting? And CSAs? And food that isn't pumped full of antibiotics and covered in pesticide residue? Nothing is wrong with it. Nothing at all. I love the fact that we have the luxury to bitch about how well we're treating the earth and ourselves. That's a nice thing to complain about. It's kind of amazing that even the big new stadium is sourcing most of its food vendors locally and that things like Fatty 'Cue and Calexico and Blue Marble are all available for mass consumption. There's nothing wrong about living well.
