torporific

Atkinson said of the narrative, "The erratic and pointless leapfrogging between its storylines is torporific ... all three stories are assembled piecemeal, many of which repeat over and over as flashback and flashforwards."

While it's hard not to fear the potentially torporific effect of a menu with a mission statement, Green Table keeps it brief, proclaiming its dedication to "sustainable agriculture" and citing Alice Waters's dictum "Eating is a political act."
