… As Mr. Bittman pointed out, people don’t eat fast food because it’s cheap; they eat it because they’re exhausted and we’ve been indoctrinated to think that cooking is work. It’s not. It’s what we lucky ones can give to those we love. When we put on the apron, we are nurturing. This is not work; it’s love.
A letter to the editor re: Mark Bittman’s article Is Junk Food Really Cheaper? (via foodjoy)
I love fast food. No, really, I love it. However, I am really making an effort to eat less of it, cooking more, because I think the above quote is right - cooking is nurturing, it’s love.
