I just wanted to air my frustrations and ask for your opinions.

let's call her Jane Doe...

Whenever I eat dinner at Jane Doe's house, she works so hard to make everything good.

But Jane Doe shops at the local supermarket, where one can buy stale, tasteless national brands and food with preservatives in it.

When I eat Jane Doe's cooking, all I can taste are the shitty ingredients that taste like cardboard and corn syrup and MSG.

I try to be polite and it's not that Jane is a bad cook, but I really want to introduce Jane to the idea of ingredient quality mattering as much as, or more than, technique.

How can I introduce Jane to local, organic foods from small-scale farmers without criticizing Jane? Jane believes that local, organic food is a hippy fad and something to fear as "unAmerican".

Thanks in advance for the advice. I'd like to be tactful but also effective in making my point.
