A very interesting article on how food has taken over from sex as America's neuroses, its under-cover sin. Personally, I buy it: many people who take exceedingly laissez- faire attitudes toward all manner of bedroom activities control their food intake with the obsessive attention of Jain ascetics. Kinky is fine, calorific most definitely not. Women confess on the alter of Self Magazine that they have sinned, they have indulged of the flesh, they have consumed the unclean bacon cheeseburger - and the problem ain't that it's not kosher. As I've written here earlier, food is not sin and we are doing ourselves and our health a disservice for pretending it is.
Enough vaguely intellectual stuff! Have some food!

Bay Area's new-school barbeque gives tradition a kick in the ribs - SfGate.com
