I'm hungry
Eating is a phenomenon. Once pure necesity, now social. Once a means of survival, now a means of communication. Its been emphasized, downsized, capsulized, synchranized, capsized...it seems just to eat is not good enough. Now so much thought goes into what, when, where, why, how. You can eat now, later, tomarrow, or never. You can eat chinese, japanes, americanese, mexican, guatamalan, anythingan. You can go on a picnic, out to a restraunt, eat in your bathroom, in your bed, on a balcony, on a floaty in a pool. You can eat because you are bored, sad, tired, frustrated, underweight, overweight, hungry, depressed. And you can eat it fried, cooked, baked, boiled, canned, creamed, pilled, mushed, smooshed, or chewed. Basically there are too many options.
I have to think. Like everything in life, stuff evolves. Where is food going next? Let's look at it logically. Once upon a time food was scarce. We hunted, we found, we ate our brains out and shared nothing. Then we farmed, cropped, and traded. Food was more bountiful and became some what social, but still a means for survival. Introduction of the meal. Famine. Touch my food and you'll die. Introduction of currency. Introduction of mass production. Food is everywhere. You want it, we'll make it. Food is social because it's available. Therfore 50% of time is thought eating food or thinking about eating food. So what comes next? It seems we have reached the max. From little to too much. Possibly, the elimination of food is on the horizon. We have already developed diet pills that give all the nutrition for a healthy and balanced life style. Heck, life isn't getting any slower so why not save some time. Take a pill, pop a shot and get on with your day.
Can you just imagine the super markets? Shopping carts the size of purses and only one isle, long and tall with huge dispensories of IV-like liquid bags and pills. The restaurants. "Yes I'll have a hit of calcium inhanced B12 with a side of hydroginated greens, vegan please" Everyone walking around with little IV's stuck to there arms. Heck, there'd be human gas stations. Just hook up, pay the toll, fill up and your on your way. Then we will be running with maximum efficiency right?
All I have to say is if that day ever comes, I pray that by then I am up in Heaven with the dear Lord because I am not giving up my pecan pie.
