...treated ourselves to re-usable plastic bowls, a spatula and silverware, we had just one metal spoon among our four mouths. We have housing in DeWolfe, considered quite posh by summer subletting standards in Cambridge. And although we have a big, glorious refrigerator capable of storing 5 gallons of milk to my HSA’s one quart, as well as a dishwasher, oven range and trash compactor, fending for my stomach—even with the mechanical niceties of a working kitchen to call my own—has been a struggle...

Since we have so many hang-ups about the purity of what we eat and drink, you'd think that any company foolish enough to add substances whose quantity and quality are notoriously difficult to control to their snacks or beverages would quickly founder. Instead the exact opposite is true. In the U.S. last year, according to the market-research firm Frost and Sullivan, consumers bought...
