"If you have a busy natural foods store in your community, give their bulk cornmeal a try: high turnover means the product will most likely be fresh. And if the cornmeal is organic, all the better"
About this Quote
The subtext is trust, and how we build it when modern shopping mostly trains us to outsource judgment to labels. “Busy natural foods store in your community” frames good eating as local and observational. Watch what people buy. Follow the traffic. It’s an actor’s kind of realism: the camera may lie, the set may be fake, but the crowd’s movement tells the truth.
Then comes “And if the cornmeal is organic, all the better,” a soft nod to contemporary virtue without letting it dominate the decision. Organic is positioned as a bonus, not a moral sorting hat. That matters culturally: it resists the purity politics that can turn food choices into identity tests, while still acknowledging the mainstreaming belief that production methods matter.
Contextually, the quote fits a moment where “natural” has become both a sincere aspiration and a market category ripe for manipulation. Jackson’s intent feels like a small corrective: don’t get hypnotized by the label; read the room.
