Every now and then, a moment in culture is captured so perfectly that it becomes legendary. We have to hand it to Chadwick Matlin for live tweeting the black hole that is the Park Slope Food Co-op's monthly meeting this past Tuesday night. You can read for yourself the tweeted progression of how Matlin, senior editor of Reuters Opinion, ends up lying on the floor during a heated discussion about banning plastic bags and mandatory shopping cart usage.

Now, we here at FiPS always poke fun at the culty manner of the Co-op and it's righteous members,  but always from the outside looking in. None of the FiPS writers are actually Park Slope Co-op members. Getting a firsthand account of the irrational behavior in the monthly meetings is so satisfying. It's like having one's (organic) cake and eating it too. Here are a few more precious gems:

Lucky for us, next month's meeting will include a vote about voting on banning Israeli products. We only hope Matlin will be there to tweet the gems of that discussion. I propose we turn it into a drinking game.
