“Perhaps it is impossible for people who don't have younger siblings - or, to be more precise, people never charged in childhood with complete responsibility for their younger siblings - to imagine the huge and tender hollow that such caretaking carves out in a child.”

“Rich people fetishize even what they eschew, the food they cannot eat: it makes them special. Here in Chicago, having people over for dinner is a logistical feat. Some of our friends are gluten-free by choice, while others decline all refined sugar on principle; some are vegan and some merely ovo-lacto vegetarian; some won’t consume palm oil because of the rainforests and tiger habitats. Some are on that paleo diet, while others are merely lactose intolerant. It takes a spreadsheet.”
