The food world is abuzz with negative reactions to the theories
on food and eating out, put forward by Tyler Cowen in his new book
'An Economist Gets Lunch' and in an article in The Atlantic.
In addition to the buzz on discussion boards there have been two
negative reviews of the book in the New York Times "Reading Mr. Cowen is like
pushing a shopping cart through Whole Foods with Rush
Limbaugh" and the Boston Globe "...fit to make the average
gourmand weep. And I don't mean happy tears. I mean tears of
disputation, tears of unintended comedy, tears of bleary-eyed
fury."
