Frame: Mark Bittman Stole My Idea

So not only does Mark Bittman have my dream career, several cookbooks, an iPhone app, fame, fortune, and cooking segments on JetBlue TV, he’s also gone and stolen my idea. In last Sunday’s New York Times, his article, “Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?” makes my point that eating healthy is NOT more expensive than junk food, and he even uses the same McDonald’s value meal comparison. To add insult to injury, he then goes on to cook several inexpensive, home-cooked meals, and do a financial analysis. (Sound familiar?) Finally, he ends by making the point that yes, you do have time to cook, and we should all think of cooking and tinkering in the kitchen as something fun.

I’m beginning to think (hope?) Bittman reads my blog.
