Future of food at the Post? Or future of foodies?
Usually I look at the Food section of the Washington Post to see recipes for great dishes I will never make, or read reviews of restaurants I’ll probably never see the inside of. But this week the Post’s foodies took a stab at serious journalism on the question of the future of food, and I just couldn’t stay away.
Tim Carman reviews a Post-sponsored conference at Georgetown University on malnutrition, obesity, and world hunger with the same strategy he generally uses for Washington’s we try harder restaurant scene: sprightly comments about the appetizers, a weightier look at the main dishes, and then — do you have room for dessert? — a sweet finish. Overall, it left me hungry for more something a bit more insightful.
