I was really disappointed to read this piece, which is really mean-spirited and almost gleeful in its piling on of this woman. I've been a reader since THE BEGINNING. I love the community here and the way you've created a safe place for women (and men, but it's mostly women) to support one another, learn, and share recipes. In the beginning, it was readers building up readers. (Mostly) women building up other women. It was a beautiful thing. You are better than this, Food52. You don't have to tear down other women in the food space for a few page views.

I had to look up 'activated cashews'. They're soaked in salt water then dried. They're salted cashews. Supposedly it increases the absorption of the nutrients. I don't know...
My favorite line of this is 'It's awesomely satiating and takes 45 seconds to compile'. I had no idea how 'fast and filling' could sound so pretentious.

I too felt Chantal Bacon's routine was a little ridiculous & out of touch with what most people can afford to do in terms of time and money for their health, but can a website that sells $325 measuring spoon necklaces really criticize the elitism and out-of-touchness of someone who consumes a $60 snack?

I love this comment so much. If a satirical website posted this article I would have thought it was hilarious. Coming from Food52, it's just petty.

Yes it’s true, we do carry some pretty expensive items (and many that are not expensive too!). We'll take the ribbing. Still, we’re pretty sure you could spiff up your kitchen and home for way less than a day of eating brain dust.

I tend to agree with Cassandra's point, but more significantly find mocking others' lifestyle to be a bit mean-spirited. It's good for a quick laugh, but I expected a more supportive atmosphere from people who love to talk niche recipes and food ideas. It's not a big deal; it just isn't the classiest move in the world.

"[ED: Please forgive the article's brief lapse out of legibility.]" >> I might have snorted. Can I favorite this twice?
