Food is fuel.  Food is art.  Food connects.  Food separates.  I want to think deeply about the role food plays in our lives.  Some posts will be playful; some will be informative.  But because food is rooted in who we are, any utterance about food is also an utterance about identity.  Thus, any playful piece must be serious; any informative piece must be argumentative.  As I write about food, I commit to recognize that I have the awesome privilege to regard food as so much more than fuel.
