Alex Park: You said that to white people, sushi is "everything they want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy and hated by the 'uneducated.'"
Christian Lander: If you can throw the word "sustainable" in there, too, that makes it even better.

Dear Hannah,
I'm just curious, do you have any tips for how to make your first time with someone new not an awkward experience? It seems that no matter how comfortable you are with your body, or bodies in general, there's always at least a little physical miscommunication the first time.

I like burgers on the grill, ribs and cornbread, and the occasional sausage patty for breakfast, but last semester when I decided to try being a vegetarian, I was very afraid of losing these sources of pleasure, as well as getting sick, maybe even turning into a carrot and not being able to sit with my meat-eating friends.
