I am 100% with Ms. Miller on the subject of food elitism and the nail-on-chalkboardness of the word "foodie," but I feel the choice of photos to illustrate the piece is more than questionable--the child in particular. Who on earth thought it was a good idea to flaunt this dramatically undernourished baby next to what is, in essence, a discussion about a (generally) wealthy country that has the luxury of arguing about food snobism? Am I the only one who feels it is completely inappropriate?

I agree with you completely - that's what stands out as well, and what ought to stand out is the tone and arguments of the piece, which were great. I guess the Gadling editors agree as the photo has been removed! But I wanted to second your note either way.
