Imposing dietary fanaticism on our feast
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Dear Carolyn:
I am in an OOD
(Obsessive Organic
Disagreement) with my
daughter-in-law and
her husband — my son.
Three families are com
ing to my house for the
holiday. The OOD couple
decided not to join us if
everyone didn’t contrib
ute dishes made from foods labeled
“organic.”
The OOD couple have three
preschool children. They buy only
organic foods, and dine at cafes of
all-organic grocery stores. Otherwise,
they bring organic food and bever
ages for the children. Letting them
bring their own organic-labeled foods
for holidays hasn’t worked well. My
daughter-in-law brought so many veg
etables for a cookout that she monopo
lized the entire grill cooking them.
They proceeded to eat dinner as we
had just gained access to the grill.
I was brought up that if someone
invited you for dinner, you ate what
you liked of what was served. You
didn’t order the hostess to prepare
foods specific to your family nor did
you bring your own dinner to the
“dinner.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Adminis
tration and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture food safety hotlines say
all food sold in grocery stores is safe to
eat. Would it poison the OOD family to
eat one holiday meal that was “regu
lar” food?
— OOD Grandmother
Being right doesn’t do you much
good if you’re answering the wrong
questions.
Of course these kids could safely
eat one “regular” meal,
no hotline confirma
tion required, oh my
goodness.
And yes, etiquette tilts
heavily toward gracious
acceptance of whatever
hosts choose to serve,
although allergies and
other intolerances can
politely factor in.
And, organic? Sure. Their preroga
tive, though it’s an imprecise business
at best. But this isn’t about food or
manners. It’s about fanaticism.
Your daughter-in-law — she’s the
driver here, I gather, while your son
is the passenger? — is an extrem
ist. Extremism is psychological, not
dietary.
This is also more of a hostage situ
ation than a menu challenge. Your
access to your son and grandchildren
lies behind that “OOD” gate, which
your daughter-in-law controls, and
your son buys into (again, I gather).
So, sure, you can fulminate eter
nally over impure coffee about your
daughter-in-law’s food sanctimony,
with full justification and no doubt
ample validation from those other
families, your friends, and people like
me — but your son and grandkids
won’t be there. And that’s the thing
you want, isn’t it? Not winning, but
companionship?
If it’s winning, then that would
explain what your son sees in your
daughter-in-law. Righteousness as
emotional comfort zone. But if you do
want your son and grandkids there,
then you need to stop trying to reason
with the fanatic. You just need to
meet her terms.
Obviously that’s not ideal. It feels
like (vegetable-dyed-chemical-free-
leather) bootlicking. It’s merely an
extreme version of what we all have
to do, though, always, to interact with
other people. You don’t choose what
other people believe or stand for
or request of us. Nor does the FDA
or Emily Post. We can only choose
from the options we’re given. In this
case: Fight your daughter-in-law over
food, or celebrate with your son and
grandkids.
Rarely is the grovel barrier so low
as just cooking organic food. Seriously.
This potato versus that potato. I say do
it and zip it — before she raises the bar.

Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

Opening lead: Lour of A
In a time when artificial
gadgetry
seems to dominate most expert
auctions, it’s a pleasure to see an
auction based purely on bridge logic.
North in today’s deal was the late
Sydney hazard, a Hall of Famer,
playing with his regular partner, Bart
B ram ley.
Many non-expert players would
open the North hand with a bid of
two clubs. It’s a way to “start the
party” and inform partner that good
times are about to roll. Experts will
not open distributional hands with
a two-club bid unless the high-card
strength is overwhelming. Describing
a distributional hand is even more
difficult when you start with an
artificial bid at the two level.
Lazard might have bid four hearts
at his second turn, but he thought
he was too strong for that bid after
Bramley’s two-level response.
Slam chances were significant. The
delicate four-diamond bid brought
a somewhat timid preference from
Bramley, but Bramley couldn’t know
that his side had an eight-card fit,
much less nine. The four-heart bid
gave Lazard confidence that his heart
suit was solid, and he tried a four-
spade cue bid. Bramley wanted to
accept the slam try, but he didn’t
know which suit to play in. He
jumped to six clubs to emphasize his
club strength. Lazard recognized that
his king of clubs was golden, so he
jumped to the grand slam in hearts.
Bramley was certain that his partner
held long, solid hearts, plus a minor
suit king, so he converted to seven no
trump and the lop spot was reached.
A well-bid hand!
