We eat without celebration, without ceremony. We eat on the run or in front of the tv. If someone mentions that maybe americans need to eat more fresh fruit and veggies, exercise, and drink more water, they are labeled as a liberal and here in the states, that's the boogie man. We no longer learn by example, we are told, and the noisiest voices are in bed with the pharmaceuticals, the meat and dairy industry, the food conglomerates, and sugar. We are cattle in this country. The corporations want us fat, stupid, and sick. And we don't think for ourselves to change that because we are too full of news, blame, mass shootings, he said, she said to get off the couch and do something!
We are hungry and mistakenly think that hunger will be satisfied with food.
Just my opinion though.

@WalksWith You know part of the problem is that we can get almost any food that we associate with special seasons or holidays year-round now. Remember when certain foods or fruits were summer only, like melons, now they are showing up from spring-early winter, and you can buy the more expensive small ones all winter long. Chocolate covered pretzels were a Christmas treat and now I've seen them year round, same with Peeps of various types, all kinds of cakes and treats. Heard a customer say that when I was working at Walmart. We used to get treats for birthdays and parties and holidays for example, and now you can buy them all the time.
