POE was a genius and victim as well.

Wonderful piece, and it resonates with me because I wrote a book in 2000 called the Cake Mix Doctor, which the food snobs turned their noses up at. Yet, it was a madly successful book and helped me get to know readers who desperately needed to make a cake using a box mix. They were hard-working people with families and commitments, worried less about whole grains than celebrating over cake with family and friends. The challenge lies once you have a big market to keep it growing and also keep yourself growing and satisfied, too. Thank you!
