“Food in our culture is one aspect of a larger nightmare.”

I agree with the quote, “Food in our culture is one aspect of a larger nightmare.” In American culture, food is like a natural thing to everyone, because everybody can find food within 1 mile in American cities. But does that mean everybody is fulfilled by what they have now? No, not at all, we just want to get more and more food, and more and more things to fulfill our desire.

The food that we have now is all about quantity, but nothing about quality. Everybody in United States wants to get as much money as they want. So they try to make as many products as possible with cheapest cost. So they are using machines instead of human for doing all work, using fuel oil instead of food for providing energy. More and more products are produced, at the same rate, the quality of the products are decreasing.

The way that American eats is making themselves hate food. Nobody gets a quality time period for his or her meal in the cities. They just grab their food from the fast food restaurant and eat that within 30 minutes. They do not care about how it taste, because they just put the food into their mouth while reading the newspaper or watching the TV. They just pay no attention to what they are eating.

In addition, food equals to waste in American. Everybody thinks that it is OK to waste food, because there is too much food that we do not even care about the left over. 5 to 15 minutes to restaurant or supermarket. There is no way to be hungry in U.S. It is hard to look at a bunch of food while we are thinking about the hungry people in the other side of the planet. As we throw the food into garbage can, someone may die by hunger.

In conclusion, food is not only a bad thing in our culture, but also it is making us feel bad about what we did to our planet and ourselves. While we are eating, we should think more about the background of the food and the people who die without food.
