In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness. Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

I was lucky to get to interview her when I was 16. She was brilliant, always ready to do the work, and keen to let kids everywhere know that we can change things if we try our hardest. Thanks, Jane 💚
