I was disappointed that he'd attempt to characterize me the way he did without even glancing at ANY of my body of work here, <a href="https://twitter.com/danielckoontz/status/420679110013509632" rel="nofollow">and I called him out on it.</a><br /><br />The question about the use/misuse of the phrase "personal responsibility" is genuine. Semantically speaking, it's fascinating that one side of the food debate hears "personal responsibility" as a subversive tactic used by industry, while another side can just hear it literally to mean "taking personal responsibility."<br /><br />And of course, the issue Lusk tackles in his follow-up post is the grave risk that downplaying personal responsibility can amount to pure condescension: it presumes that people can't or won't take action on their own behalf. <br /><br />It doesn't appear that these nuances occurred to Parke. He only saw a narrow-minded caricature.<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-75249280952279569632014-01-10T09:43:19.338-08:002014-01-10T09:43:19.338-08:00I like the Tufts/Lusk exchange on your interview. ...I like the Tufts/Lusk exchange on your interview. The Tufts piece was obviously a knee-jerk reaction based on the writer's personal bias. Lusk's response was substantial. Me likes.<br /><br />I enjoyed the interview pieces too, btw, but didn't comment because I haven't actually read any of the books under discussion. :-)chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.com
