Foodie Elitism

June 14, 2010 by Joel Salatin

How should we respond when we're called elitists because we buy more 
expensive, local food?

By Joel Salatin

Because high-quality local food often carries a higher price tag than 
food generated by the industrial system, the charge of elitism coming 
from industrial foodists is often vitriolic, and embarrassed foodies 
agonize over the label. For all their positive energy surrounding food, 
I've found latent guilt among this group-guilt for paying more for local 
food when others are starving, guilt for caring about taste when others 
would happily eat anything. Instead of cowering in self-guilt, let's 
confront the issue of prices head on.
