This was seemingly written with a conclusion already in mind and takes a very muddy approach to reaching it. The author makes no apparent distinction between "prepared whole foods" and "industrially processed and modified foods" and "McDonald's."
They paint the baguette as a modern mirage, even though is just ancient lean dough prepared with some skill. They ignore that farms experience seasons and so the workers on the farms experience them as well. Or that the five hour process of preparing tortillas would probably overlap with much other labor in the household, they truly imagine a women solely occupied with making tortillas for five hours a day?
This article ignores much to make an over broad point all to arrive at the pithy conclusion that I'm actually an ancient aristocrat because I think McDonald's food is sub standard.
