are you proud of eating food that will make you
sick if you keep eating too much of it all the time?

are you proud of eating food which is based upon an
often unsustainable exploitation of the natural world?

are you proud of doing those things and spending
even more money than necessary to exist?

to me these are similar to the signs of the greedy
people who like to think that conspicuous consumption
mean something as a status symbol, but to me it looks
like idiocy. the same with those who get morbidly
obese.

to me eating fast food all the time would be an
admission that i'm not behaving well and yes it's
wrong and a sign that i should change my behavior.

learning to cook, even simple things is an
important skill, adding to that some gardening where
you grow some of your own food can at least get a
person more in touch with the natural world and a
start to appreciating the planet which gives them
life instead of living in a sterile box and eating
little cubes of processed foods.

but as they say, to each their own. *shrug*
