What’s Wrong With PB&J?
I wish your story “A Healthy Lunch Box” (In
Marin, September 2013) was a parody, but it’s
not, as only in Marin would a food writer recommend a child’s school lunch with such a menu:
homemade hummus with chopped veggies, fruit
salad with fresh pineapple and cooked quinoa,
smoothie made with Straus Family Creamery
yogurt, and (my favorite) fromage blanc and
salami sandwich with arugula. Did you tally
the cost of this fantasy lunch? When are parents supposed to “throw it together”? And why
would they take all that prep time for the meal
when their kids will spend 10 minutes shoveling
it down or, often, bring it home or throw it away?
Healthy, yes, but so over-the-top and unrealistic
it’s maddening. It also touches on a lot that is
wrong with Marin, but that’s another column.

A New York Minute
Jim Wood, your references to Friedman, Naim
and the Next New World Forum (POV, “Even
Change Is Changing,” September 2013), in our
local Marin Magazine, has made this fortysome-thing New York City transplant feel connected
and relevant — right here in gorgeous Marin.

Keep It Clean
In regard to Jim Wood’s feature “Cleaning
Up Marin’s Act” (April 2013), I can’t agree
more with what was written. However, when
it comes to “the problem,” I believe the cause
of the trash was neglected. Where does it
come from? Why is there so much trash on the
ground?;I can tell you, living in Sausalito and
using the Spencer Avenue Highway 101 access,
I see trash flying out of the back of pickup
“Mill Valley Market.”
