Ranch dressing is what’s wrong with America
And a lot of what’s there is just food snobbery, really, there’s no reason to click the link. The writer’s just a hipster upset that hoi polloi have taken to dipping pizza in salad dressing, and up(per) scale restaurants actually cater to the philistinism. Oh, the horror.
But since the writer also bills himself as some sort of environmentalist…
… where he covers environmental politics and policy, with a focus on climate change, energy and urban planning…
…he can’t leave it at that. Oh, no.
Y’know, if he just said “Ranch dressing is gooey and fat-full and I think it’s gross,” that would have been all right. I don’t like tomatoes. Doesn’t make me a bad person.
But noooo…
Finally, our vulgar extravagance is going to destroy the planet and starve the global poor. Like meat, dairy produces more local and climate pollution than most plant-based foods. Dairy cows also require more land, water and other resources than grains and vegetables. Unless we moderate our habits, we will run out of resources to feed the Earth’s 7 billion-and-growing population and cause massive climate disruption.
Sigh…
This’d be funny, except six months from now this kid will be Undersecretary of Something Intrusive at the Department of the Interior. Then we’ll all pay attention to his superior wisdom, or feel the knout. See if we don’t.
If he tries to take asiago cheese from me and my daughter, I will kill him. That’ll save the planet from his carbon footprint.
Joel, that people have the time and interest to write such drivel as he did almost assures us that they will have a long and spirit-stultifying career in some cannibalistic culture, whether government or some other slaver enterprise.
Oh, Kent, you are so clever. Think of how much carbon footprints could be reduced if the lemmings all ran off some metaphorical cliff equivalent to taking away the asiago cheese.

I wish he would just flail himself and leave the rest of us alone.
What a tool. I guess being a ‘tolerant individual’ has its limits. ‘Social Warriers’ often see themselves as people who can order other people to follow their lead. So much for tolerance.
Ranch dressing – I use to flavor my canned chicken occasionally if I want something different. Tucked into a slice of bread like a taco – good grazing.
I love such experts on farming. You should contact him to get him to talk to the guy running beef by you. He can explain to him how he should be raising wheat and cucumbers instead lol.
Yeah, I’ve never liked ranch dressing.
And, it seems the female population wants to use it on EVERYTHING (french fries? pizza crust? Seriously?),
and they would mainline it if they could.
Fortunately, I’m a libertarian (small L), so others may do as they wish.
Just don’t knock on my door trying to sell me on your flavor of god or dressing! 🙂
