Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all having a nice holiday season. As 2015 comes to an end, I wanted to reflect on the year through the lens of ever-satirical New Yorker food cartoons
The issue of Genetically Modified Organisms in food production drew mass attention this year. While amazing groups like Vani Hari's Food Babe Army worked hard this year to bring change, there is still a lot to be done. I loved this cartoon for how it poked fun at the whole issue. It was an interesting interpretation...
"Foodie": pretentious snob or thoughtful gastronomer? I'd like to go with the latter, but regardless, "foodie-ism" spread like wildfire this year, especially on platforms like Instagram with the growth of the "foodstagram" community.
These two cartoons made me laugh. I cut both of them out of the magazine and they now hang on my bulletin board above my desk. I hope they make you laugh too.
With the rise in popularity this year of raw-vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, non-G.M.O. diets makes this cartoon a very accurate picture of what it's like to eat in 2015. I know that when my family gets together, the cook must first create a venn diagram to figure out what dish could satisfy everyone's dietary restrictions and preferences.
And finally, a cartoon so accurate that I might as well be that man. Darn avocados! So delicious, yet so elusive. Has an avocado ripeness timer been invented? If not, I think I've found my next project...
Cheers to a year of much more!!
Thank you all,
Gourmanda
