The pitch-in attracted Slow Food fans to share in their love for local and organic food. Isa asks, why not meet over a Big Mac instead?

Hilarious! Best Isa video yet.
I tipped you the $1 tip I received from Steve. We're just tipping each other at this point.

You have a real talent for making people feel awkward on camera. I love it!

Go Isa!

Yeah, that was stinkin' funny. Also informative.
Those are some earnest people.

Steve,
I wish it were only on camera. A talent, or a curse?

Isa I like your blunt style. And at a hippy gathering that is always a good play. No fear kid, I dig the video!

Yours is an ugly kind of journalism that I cannot respect—a kind of journalism that aims to make a show of their discomfort. Shame on you for taking something beautiful and destroying it for a few compassionless laughs.

Disappointed: You are a kind of viewer that I cannot respect--one who cannot distinguish between journalism and satire. Not only was this video comically genius, Isa actually achieved a very flattering portrayal of slow food advocates, people who not only are passionate about sustainable living, but also have a sense of humor, something you sadly lack. Since you are such a fan of slow food, I recommend mixing sarcasm, wit, and silliness, cooking over a flame of humility, adding a dash of get-off-your-high-horse sauce, and presto: you've got a sense of humor! Until then, be sure to avoid the onion, the daily show, and colbert report, for I fear your brain lacks the capacity to digest brazenly clever satire.

I want to add that while this might be categorized as 'satirical', I find it be a great piece of journalism because it reflects a truthful representation of the event and the people who attended. No one was forced to answer Isa's questions and any 'ugliness' was the individual's own doing.
I'd argue that journalism ultimately is about transparency and honest representations of events, issues -- people in particular constructs. Just because it's funny doesn't mean it's not good journalism, it's just not what people expect. And thanks to Isa (and Kieran) for providing an enjoyable piece, which had the added value of provoking a discussion, which is the ultimate goal.
