The Goods Are Odd

This year was big for me in that I had a piece of writing published in print for the first time. Because so much of what I write about here on this blog concerns letting go of a lot of the consumer culture around food, I haven’t been super comfortable with putting up ads, which might support the time I spend writing. Thus, it was very exciting to receive a check for a piece, especially one that really addresses the issues I go on about here. In fact it was probably the most satisfying check I have ever received.

I have begun working on other print projects since this piece was published, but it is now online and available to share. So share I will. The article is based on an interview with my granddad who grew up in the East Bay (where I currently live) in the Great Depression. We talked about eating, buying food, labor issues, family, and all those issues that come up when you talk about what we eat. Read on in the current issue of Edible East Bay
