What a bad joke this is, only in the third world would this qualify as "eating well."
To me the silliest part of the article was Food is one of the few true necessities in life, yet overlooked in mainstream thought. I would say that mainstream culture is obsessed with food.
And it just goes on from there. What could be more mainstream than Rachel Ray and her talk show? And she is big on ingredients and cooking them.
Or do a survey of "food section"s in print. The HuffPo, of all things, focuses on recipes:

Lots of real papers have lots of recipes and content that is not restaurant reviews.
Sorry for focusing on one small point and being cranky about it.
Eating well means eating nutritionally complete, balanced, and tolerably palatable foods. When you maximize for the taste experience, without concern for nutritional completeness or balance, you are not eating well.
