...that wide, low pink box. I'd pick away at the frosted top, then collect the remaining pure cake in both hands, eating out of my palms like a crazed bird on a sugar high. And when no one was looking, I'd shove the paper in my mouth and chew it like cupcake gum. Even now I like an occasional chai latte--flavored Sprinkles cupcake, just as I appreciate a great burger or mac and cheese.

...This should include you, by the way, since it seems highly uncontroversial - like something Mother might say - that you would want to know where a bit of organic matter came from before you put it into your mouth and swallow. Most of us don?t, of course, which isn?t a new problem: in the Dark Ages, as M.F.K. Fisher wrote, food was ?only a necessity? - ?like sleep and sweating.? So it is for most...
