Personally artisanal is much too long a word to describe the naturalness of the product.

I like artsy

Faux-artisanal? Fartisanal?

ok, so … fartsy.

The largest (sic) bottling was 173 cases. Does this make me nano-tisanal instead of artisanal? Not that it really matters!

Here’s a cause for you, leave “artisinal” alone. It’s a perfectly fine little word, kind of draws a lovely picture for you as you say it.

Instead, start a movement to ban “paradigm.” I HATE that word! Don’t you just get the sense that 80% of the time you hear that word, the speaker has no idea what it means?

Otherwise, what would we call cheese that stinksup the joint but we won’t throw out?

Better target: “all natural.” As in Snapple drinks that contain pure high fructose corn syrup as the second most prominent ingredient.

Now, submit it to http://www.urbandictionary.com/ to make it official.

Indeed, fake artisanal is what has pushed me over the edge. We need a term for this: Faux-artisanal? Fartisanal?

Note: my graph was hand-crafted.

Really? ;)

“Figure not drawn to scale.”

What bugs me most about “artisanal” is that it’s used by mass-producers. Like the par-baked breads you can get in supermarkets. Better than Wonder Bread, sure, but “artisanal”?
