I think that my overarching message in it is, \u201cLook, we\u2019ve gotten to where we\u2019ve idolized food to the point that we\u2019re missing the experience.\u201d <strong>You know, the most magical thing about food is its ability to connect human beings to one another. That\u2019s the real miracle of food.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But if you\u2019re looking so closely at the food that you miss the people you\u2019re sitting with, then food is no longer a good thing. Then it\u2019s a bad thing.<\/strong> I think those of us in the food media have to be very, very, very careful how much we objectify the food itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From a <a title=\"Alton Brown: Don't Take Food So Seriously\" href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/lifestyle\/taste\/242851541.html\" target=\"_blank\">Q&amp;A<\/a> with <a title=\"Alton Brown\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alton_Brown\" target=\"_blank\">Alton Brown<\/a> in the Minneapolis <em>Star Tribune<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Do you have a food message that you want to convey?
