| Sometimes I feel like the people here live on a different planet. I can't imagine what type of upbringing I would have to have, to start thinkinkg that "eating food" is an engineering problem to be solved. This might be a controversial opinion, but I for one, like to eat food. In fact I even do it 3 times a day. Don't yall have a culture that's passed down to you through food? Family recipes? Isn't eating food a central aspect of socialization? Isn't socialization the reason people wanted to go to the office in the firt place? Maybe I'm biased. I love going out to eat, and I love cooking. But its more than that. I garden. I go to the farmers market. I go to food festivals. Food is such an integral part of the human experience for me, that I can't imagine "cutting it out". And for what? So you can have more time to stare at the screen you already stare at all day? So you can look at 2% more lines of javascript? When I first saw commercials for that product, I truly thought it was like a medical/therapeutic thing, for people that have trauma with food. I admit, the food equivalent of an i.v. drip does seem useful for people that legitimately can't eat. |
90% of meals aren't some special occasion, but I still need to eat. Why not make it easy? Then go explore and try new things every now and then
Treating food as entertainment is how the west has gotten so unhealthy
