Wendell Berry’s article, The Pleasure of Eating, is a painfully honest and accusatory article, yet Berry has every right to make his argument because while he targets the ignorant he provides a solution. His Berry’s claim rests upon the fact that the public, who can be seen as either “passive” (1) or “victim[s]” (1), lacks the desire to connect their role in the production of their food. Berry uses this article to express his concern for the g rowing disconnect between the farm and the supermarket. He continues to imply that food producers would eat the food for the consumer if they could make money off of it (1), for they are already disguising the food through means that are better for income than integrity. Furthermore, Berry explores shifts the public can make in order influence the food market and protect their health. He suggests such things as growing one’s own food, cooking at home, supporting local farmers, and educating oneself. Above all, however, Wendell Berry was more concerned with promoting “pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance” (3) than pointing the finger at the food industry or the public.
