I am not sure how so many Americans came to believe only our wealthy are capable of honoring a food aesthetic.
In her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life," Barbara Kingsolver challenges the notion that only wealthy individuals can appreciate or adhere to a food aesthetic. She expresses confusion over the widespread belief that enjoying high-quality, fresh food is exclusive to the affluent. Kingsolver suggests that this mindset limits access to nutritious and sustainable food choices to a privileged few, neglecting the value of local and seasonal produce.
The author emphasizes the importance of food practices that prioritize sustainability and local sourcing, arguing that a food aesthetic should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income. By encouraging readers to redefine their relationship with food, Kingsolver advocates for a community-oriented approach that celebrates the joys of mindful eating and cooking without financial barriers.
