The Internet Breeds Experts

I recently read an article (in the NY Times, no less) in which a couple was quoted saying that they consider themselves to be foodies because they “watch the Food Network and Instagram their food.” 

Here’s the article, if you don’t believe me.

If that makes you a foodie, then after reading a CNN article, I should have White House-level security clearance to updates in Syria. And, since I’ve retweeted updates about the Royal Baby, I deserve to be His Royal Babysitter.

Brag as much as you want to your friends about your cuisine capabilities, but when your name is being printed in a nationally syndicated news outlet, perhaps do your best to sound a little more educated about your qualifications.
