Much pondering is called for

on this article from The Atlantic.

My first reaction is that I am much closer to the
“the omnivore’s fun time at the supermarket”
than I am to the omnivore's dilemma, even though I do have certain values which guide my food choices.

My second thought is that dietary rigidity, when seen as a path to salvation and escape from disease and death, is really a form of idolatry.

I also wonder why this article, from February, just showed up in my Facebook feed today. Is it too challenging to too many of us to have made the rounds any quicker than that?
