Sure, I’ll give it a try. Here’s an article in the style of J.D. Salinger, with a snarky twist.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is why a guy like Josh McClary, who’s supposed to be all about love and comedy improv, is now dishing out frozen burritos like some kind of farm-to-table messiah. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering what the hell gravity has to do with any of it.
Josh McClary, an eighth-generation Indiana pioneer — because, of course, every Hoosier has to have some rugged, down-to-earth ancestry — has his hands in a thousand different pies. Or burritos, rather. The guy’s got a farm, an LLC called Considerate Meals, and this borderline-obsessive idea that you can hook folks on wholesome living with microwavable burritos. Like it’s crack or something. It’s endearing, really, in a folksy, Midwest sort of way.
Now, Josh isn’t just any farmer. He’s a farmer-artist, which means he’s got his head stuck in the clouds while his hands are buried in the dirt. He’s trying to find the “fundamentals of existence,” which, if you ask me, sounds like he’s been reading too much Emerson. Or maybe he’s been inhaling too many tractor fumes. Either way, he’s convinced that sustainable living and teaching kids to stay off screens by feeding them burritos and improv lessons every Saturday is the ticket to a better future.
And then there’s the whole gravity thing. Josh likes to call himself a witch on Medium, and he’s got this theory of life that somehow ropes gravity into the mix. Gravity’s the thing that keeps us grounded, right? But in Josh’s world, it’s also the force that pulls people towards his farm, his vision, his burritos. Gravity, for Josh, is the undeniable pull of Consideration Farm as a community youth center, where kids learn to live sustainably and find meaning in the dirt and the laughter.
Josh’s story is like something out of a Hoosier fever dream. He’s a Servsafe manager certified, community-building, gravity-defying kind of guy. He’s got this idea that life is fundamentally about being considerate — hence, Considerate Meals. It’s like Thoreau with a microwave. And you know what? Maybe he’s onto something. Maybe, in this fast-paced, disconnected world, what we really need are farm-fresh, frozen burritos and a good dose of gravity to keep us all from floating away.
So, if you ever find yourself in Bloomington, Indiana, keep an eye out for Josh McClary and his Considerate Burritos. They might just be the grounding force you didn’t know you needed. And who knows? You might just find the fundamentals of existence wrapped up in a tortilla.
