Actual Headlines from Very Strange Food Magazines
One of the funniest features in the book "The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007" (edited by Dave Eggers) was a list of headlines from obscure trade magazines. Trade magazines are publications that cover different industries, hobbies, and markets – like technology or consumer goods. However, some of these niche magazines get a bit too involved in the industry and occasionally lose perspective. So in a blatant rip-off of David Eggers – DaRK PaRTY presents our own analysis of the bizarre world of trade magazines with a focus on the food and farming trade magazines.
