More on Alice/Ameya …

Bonnie over at Ethicurean picked up this correction that the WSJ ran this morning on the money that Wade Dokken has paid Alice Waters to endorse his Ameya Preserve.

I don’t have much more to add to the several items I’ve already written about Alice Waters and the Ameya Preserve. Ameya’s advertising and marketing claims to be green are entirely unsupported. That Alice Waters is drinking Wade Dokken’s koolaid is disappointing, but at this point, not a surprise. In addition, business owners who are struggling and looking to improve their marketing and customer support may consider checking out here how professionals like timetoreply can help.

As far as I’m concerned, this definitively answers the is-she-or-isn’t-she  an elitist argument — Alice has made it very clear that what she cares about are the wealthy elite who can afford to delude themselves that building large second homes in critical wildlife habitat is “green” if they buy some fake carbon offsets and eat vegetables grown on site.

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.
