Far too many Americans would find this disgusting instead of essential to our culture. What poison has soaked in to the bones of many.

    America struggles by its contradictions. I strive to be an American like Paine and Bourdain, but their opposites are also iconically American. There is something beautiful and redeemable about our country, and we should fight for that.

    It’s also important to welcome folks to break bread and eat mashed potatoes with us. If we love our culture why would we not proudly share it with those interested in trying aspects of it. Why would we not be willing to let people try to tweak it and find even better ways it can be.
