Trying again; apologies to those of you seeing this twice!Programming note 2: Last week, quietly, I paused all billing for paid subscribers to this newsletter.

Programming note: Last week, quietly, I paused all billing for paid subscribers to this newsletter. (Thanks to all of you for the support, BTW!) Because this mailing list is now transitioning to its new form: This is now “The Southlander,” the bi-weekly free newsletter that accompanies our paid print issues.And the first of those print issues is now available for pre-order! I’m calling this a soft launch; I’ll make a more formal announcement soon.

Our biweekly publication schedule is woefully slow compared to today's news cycle. I tried writing this before my vacation last week but knew anything I wrote would be outdated by Tuesday morning.

There is a kind of folktale in Louisiana: a set of lobsters followed French Canadians exiles, cast from their home in the mid-18th century during the French and Indian War, to arrive in Louisiana. As the lobsters journeyed south, enduring heat and humidity, they shrank from their grand dimensions, creating the diminutive creature we know as the crawfish.

It seems like everyone thinks this is Michael Pollan endorsing RFK but I think it's just him carelessly retweeting an article in which he's mentioned? Either way my takeaway is we're in a fraught and interesting moment when it comes to the politics of food https://t.co/zPos9UXXD1
