I was...labelled as an advocate because...I measured something.

That said, there are certainly still cooks out there who make fantastic historical cornbreads, though the old recipes have often been changed to include modern techniques and ingredients.

It's not about the fish; it's not about the pollution; it's not about the climate change. It's about us and our greed and our need for growth and our inability to imagine a world that is different from the selfish world we live in today.

Many of America's historical cornbreads were staple breads for people who didn't have many other options.

I tested a lot of old cornbread recipes and most of them were bland or tough.

I have spent far too many years trying to make everybody like me. It's not possible. People can say or think what they want.

Sometimes you win by losing.
