I enjoyed reading this yesterday, and had it in my head when I began to listen to Mark Bittman on the Ezra Klein podcast this morning. It was striking how well the frame of sexuality studies could fit onto everything Bittman said about food. At around the 36:50 mark, he says that "we need to prevent our children from being taught... food preferences [that] are perverted."
Without reading this post first, I don't think I would have heard as clearly the undertones of Anita Bryant in his approach to food politics.
