Tone down the moral panic. The 'Style', 'Food' and 'Travel' sections in newspapers have been bought forever and this is more of the same in a different era. I've always been most interested in why European goods are seen as luxurious in North America despite usually objectively being nothing special (wines that aren't any better in blind taste tests, cars of average reliability, bogus health claims of olive oil). You can usually trace this back to some mid-20th century group of journalists or experts getting a fully paid trip to Italy or France by some interested industry group.
