Review of Eating Close to Home

I liked this. It got me thinking about my own community. Plus, I learned a few things. And his authenticity and passion come through without beating me over the head and the use of sound was purposeful.
I found the opening a bit awkward. Personally, I might have opened by describing the magazine assignment. It seems like the best and most direct way to set up the story. And the early narration was a bit on the stiff side but he found that storytelling voice, if sporadically, as the piece progressed.
