I couldn’t stomach a ‘cooking’ magazine that is more devoted to promoting LGBT awareness than teaching readers about delicious food.
I am fortunate to be part of a vibrant Google group (that has since spun off into an excellent Substack), where weekly conversations can run the gamut from intense national security discussions to analyzing Taylor Swift’s latest album. Several years ago, someone in the group asked for recommendations for a solid cooking magazine, and many folks (myself included) chimed in with a vote for Bon Appetit.
You can tell the BA writers really love to cook, and they want you to love it, too, was an apt description of the mag offered by one group member, to which I heartily agreed. How could I not? As an avid home cook and a loyal BA subscriber, who eagerly awaited the monthly arrival of each new issue to my mailbox, I relished reading it cover to cover, and gaining inspiration for new dishes to share with family and friends.
...
A January 2022 article titled “Over Fried Fish, I Said Goodbye to My Wife — And to a Version of Myself” confirmed that year would be my last one as a subscriber. It was a meandering, self-indulgent essay from a trans-identifying man who’d “discovered” he was really a woman after living in Uganda with his wife, while she chronicled the LGBT movement there for her doctoral research.

Even whatever?
Yes, whatever.
Nothing is safe from being rewritten to please the Woke.
I think there’s a market for journals with old-fashioned high standards who can carry the torch that these guys have unceremoniously dropped.
I stopped subscribing to Cook’s Country when they hired a new affirmative action “wokester” editor last year. They must know it was a mistake, they keep sending me free editions with Please Comeback letters attached.
Wokeness is spreading everywhere like a contagious disease. I don’t understand why so many people can’t simply enjoy a show, a hobby, a class, an investment, etc., without inserting some woke agenda into it.
Lol.
All these kind of magazines went woke a long time ago. I used to watch the Home and Garden channel until every show was promoting the “happy homosexuals” theme. Goodbye HGTV.
“I don’t understand why so many people can’t simply enjoy a show, a hobby, a class, an investment, etc., without inserting some woke agenda into it.“
When God made the world He built into it the Law that men will serve Heaven or Hell, no in between. No opting out. They have made their choice and so they are relentless in their earth religion.
BINGO. The seek to render Hell on Earth, and are succeeding at each and every turn.
The “woke mob” didn’t ruin anything. Corporate woke management did.
PS” As did the woke writers “who to cook and didn’t walk out en masse.
Go WOKE and go broke!
Many doctor’s office run HGTV on their waiting room TVs. I move as far away from that k-rap as possible. I actually asked the dentist office counter person to turn the volume down the other day. (I was there waiting for my wife.)

I ask them to change the channel. Usually they do.
I gave up on Scientific American when that blithering idiot John Ronnie took over and started to pretend that social “sciences” were actual sciences.
I hope he got out of there without having responsibility for his wife’s student loan.
Bon Appetit is only online these days and with videos too. No more physical magazine. As far as I know.
So woke, but they ain’t going broke.
