"But for Asians of all cultures, as unlike as Japanese and Hmong, food can entail what I will call arousal."

We've talked about this before. I've seen this in Asian people. But I've also seen it in Caribbean people and African people and Italian people. I really don't see the argument for a love of food, even a particularly acute love of food, being genetic. It seems much more likely to be about home environment and culture to me.

I'm not talking about loving good food. Who doesn't? I am talking explicitly about a state of arousal, an excitement. But I don't want to get any more into it save to say that I am sure what I've seen. I have after all had thirty years of watching.
