Description
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s job is simple to state but somehow political appointees in Washington D.C. have gotten so caught up talking about “matrixes” and other nonsensical jargon that they have lost sight of what they are supposed to do. You’d think living in the nation’s capital, one of the two American cities most at risk to suffer a terrorist attack, would be enough motivation to take their jobs seriously.
People are starting to close their letters to me with “Have a deep lazy summer,” and I find myself writing back, “You, too, but don’t fall out of the hammock.” I mean, can you believe that? I don’t even remember my last deep, lazy summer. A summer so deep and lazy the light in the foliage dapples my body so I won’t even turn over so as to better look like a leopard.
I’m haunted by visions of Marion Nestle. Nestle, a food guru with a Ph.D in molecular biology and a masters in nutrition, is the author of “Food Politics” and “What to Eat.” She’s in the news these days almost as much as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. In interview after interview, I’ve read Nestle’s messages about eating organic dairy products without crazy growth hormones and urging people to “vote with their forks,” as she told News.com
