Malcolm Gladwell does not want you, your kids, or your friends to go to Bowdoin College. Bowdoin, in turn, says Gladwell and his podcast producer took a “manipulative and disingenuous shot” at the Maine college and its well-regarded food and dining services. The culinary clash started when Gladwell, The New Yorker writer and best-selling author, published his “Revisionist History” podcast. The episode, titled “Food Fight,” argued that private liberal arts colleges that spend money on food do so at the expense of financial aid for poorer students.
