It's kismet!

So, Slate magazine allows Nather Heller to complain about pie. Yes, the food substance, pie. He complains that pie is "gloppy, soggy, and un-American."

At a cafe and pie store I visited this afternoon, I found this quote:

It is utterly insufficient (to eat pie only twice a week), as anyone who knows the secret of our strength as a nation and the foundation of our industrial supremacy must admit. Pie is the American synonym of prosperity, and its varying contents the calendar of the changing seasons. Pie is the food of the heroic. No pie-eating people can ever be permanently vanquished.
— New York Times Editorial, 1902
