Eating

Tibetan food is exactly what you wanted to have for dinner, but didn't realize it until the first bite touched your lips. My wife and Iw ere talking tonight about food that is superficially pleasing and food that is fundamentally satisfying. Fake sugar, and super refined fatty and sugary foods, mass-produced McDoritos shit (CMTV tries to mass-market this brand of bland jingoistic Americanism to a country that defies that characterirzation yet embraces the same stereotype--selling the idea of white trash to white trash that wants to be Gangsta) tastes great up until you're about halfway done, when your brain starts to realize that your taste buds have been swindled. And yet the notion of complete (whole) foods has been co-opted, commodified, and mass-marketed to rich yuppies to assuage their sense of paranoia and reinforce their sense of superiority to the masses they condescend to patronize.
