A couple weeks ago, Calley Means, the man responsible for securing the MAGA/MAHA alliance between Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., took to X to call out The New York Times for describing home cooking as “unpaid labor that tends to fall disproportionately on women.”
This feminist propaganda came from an article titled “We Shouldn’t Want to Eat Like Our Great-Great-Grandparents.” In the print version of the Times, the article was entitled: “Stop Worrying and Learn to Love Industrial Food.” Only the paper’s remaining customers who pay for its nonsense would ever take a headline like this seriously.

It’s difficult to point out all the lies and frankly, stupidity, in this article that tries to defend industrial food as superior to what our great-grandparents would whip up on a random Tuesday afternoon. It claims the bagel you are eating is “affordable, convenient and nutritious” and that even vegetables are part of an “industrial system.”
In an age of obesity, a bagel’s nutrition density could be easily contested. And while vegetables are part of an industrial system that transports fruit to the United States in the dead of winter, no reasonable person would argue that blueberries from Latin America have the same nutritional value as a Twinkie.
