Why I became a food writer

I’ve written about how I became a food writer previously. In that article there’s the not-so-short story of how it dawned on me that I liked food and was knowledgeable enough to write about it, as a full-time job. Becoming a food writer explains the “how” of me becoming a food writer. This article tells the “why”. If you’re just interested in my advice on how to become a food writer, go read the previous article and skip this one. No hard feelings, I understand.
