Like others who commented above, I loved the “Trash Food” piece. Went and added one of the author’s books to my to-read list. How do you find the pieces you eventually include in your links round-up?

The 1D / Top Gear article was also a good read.

When I read about “trash food” I immediately thought about how funny it was a couple of years ago when pimiento cheese started appearing on every menu in Charleston, SC.

I liked that Trash Food link. It reminds me of my mom telling me she always had lobster sandwiches for lunch as a kid while the “rich” kids had peanut butter. Her dad was a lobster fisherman. Now people living far from here pay big bucks to have lobster brought to them in restaurants. Funny how that works.

I like purge watching! Thats definitely a term we need. I also sometimes call it guilt-watching because not watching that show I don’t like but have been watching for a while makes me very guilty!

True story: Z has just discovered the term “spoiler alert” and has started purposefully telling me huge spoilers and then screaming “spoiler alert” and then laughing maniacally as he tells me that the alert was too late. Ahh, kids. 😉

It’s not a total exaggeration to say I LIVE for your links round-ups! Absolutely loved the one on trash food, which was marvelously thoughtful and nuanced. In fact, I’m posting it to FB. And I am also stony-faced about the Star Wars teaser. Is something wrong with us?

I’m sure it varies by sector, but my experience with academic journals is that they aren’t profit makers. Breaking even is doing well. But the journals and magazines I’ve worked on are in education. It might be different in, say, the sciences.

That “trash food” piece was great–and it gave me a craving for Vienna sausages, which I haven’t eaten in years but ate all the time growing up. But more seriously, it’s a great discussion about class. Thanks for sharing it!
