Well, that was an exciting and productive morning. Wrote a pretty long piece on quinoa for NPR, and though I am happy with the end result, I'm pretty certain they was want to strip out all the complexity and nuance and reduce it to a boringly straightforward story. That's their privilege, of course, but part of me hates to lose the complexity. I wonder how they would feel about me publishing the story as submitted on my onw site. I suppose it won't hurt to ask, if they do in fact strip it.
