A published rant against PIE
Thought some of you would enjoy reading this -- Slate Magazine has published a long, detailed rant dedicated to destroying the reputation of pie as un-healthy, un-modern, inauthentic and un-American:
http://www.slate.com/id/2296054/pagenum/all/#p2 The comments are great -- the first one reads, "geez, did a pie kill your parents?" |
Read the article a few days ago but didn't go into the comments. I get where the dude's coming from about how there are some bad pies out there, crusts can be a challenge, and going a la mode, especially in an outdoor setting, can result in a soggy gooey mess, but the article was funny how over the top it was.

This can't be a serious article. Probably written to get a reaction. What a ******.
|
It's un-American to rant against pie. After all, what does every good BBQ place serve for dessert? Pie!!

Have to agree with part of the article. Originally the crust of a pie was only there to preserve the contents. It was made as a Hard dough crust to protect the contents from contamination and was discarded before eating. How things have changed. |

Nathan Heller must be a Communist. ;)
On a serious note, I am so sick of the "un-American" phrase that I could just punch the next person who says it and is close enough for me to reach them. The fact of the matter is that given our diversity, there is very little that is un-American. |
Just leaves more for me!

I think his entire pie experience is wrapped in cow pies.

Next Sarah Palin will go on Fox to announce her support of pie, and to suggest that Mr. Obama prefers felafels. She'll invite Donald Trump onto the bus for a pie-eating photo op.

I think that the Founders could come up with a short list of "un-American" things right off the cuff: tyranny, religious oppression, a co-opted and dependent media, an uninformed and indifferent populace, public immorality, debt...

Yes, but it would resonate more if only the Founders applied them equally to everyone, not just white males and/or property owners.

If she invites him to eat her pie at the Y, I don't want to see those photos. I have not looked at the fork photos because I already have adequate disdain for Trump.
