This is food fascism. To paraphrase Albert Einstein: at first, they came for the hummus eaters, but I said nothing, as I did not eat hummus.

so are you trying to say to eat “wonderful” things that aren’t healthy, because you need to “snatch a moment of pleasure” before you die? right, because my time here would be totally limited if i ate like shit.
what if protein bars give me pleasure?

This article made me feel exactly like Brenda who commented. I read the title of the article and was hoping to read about some healthy alternatives for hummus, as I tend to fall back on that quite a bit and am always seeking ways to improve and diversify what I eat. I kept reading, hoping the article would eventually get better and make sense.. or at least be helpful. Instead it turned out to be an epic fail at humor – a bitchy, condescending rant that felt like verbal bullying similar to that found in high school cliques. Ecosalon, are you serious? You highlighted this in your newsletter? The world is rough enough, I’d like to feel good after reading your articles, not worse.

Give me a bloody brake!
You have no idea how to make home made hummus with real ingredients! My friends salivate just by the thought of my home made hummus..You can add basil or red pepper etc..Makes me think you are as boring as the article.

Your last line makes me think you are a hummus hating goat that eats tree bark & grass. Are you getting enough protein?

I must be too old for this style of humor, because I felt disgruntled after the first paragraph and downright cranky by the time I reached the end of the article. Hummus or no hummus, life gives me joy. And I enjoy yogurt, greek or not (but it must be organic with no thickeners or stabilizers). Foods that made me say ‘yuck’ as a child are now some of my favorite flavors. I suppose some things you just have to grow into.

You need to tell me if Schopenhauer was speaking through you in this, because only he has made me laugh so hard.

[…] food’s life for its backlash. We’ve already seen the earliest buds of the coming hate from Mallory Ortberg on Eco Salon, who thinks the Greek yogurt thing happening right now is “awful”: “Every company […]

I really hope guacamole isn’t one those dips on the list, otherwise my life may be over.
