What should we call it "fast consumables"?
A Food-like Product
Overprocessed consumables.
I don't think that rolls off the tongue as well as fast food. Maybe it's the alliteration.
The simple fact that we've accepted their engineered insinuation of "food" is why it's still an industry — dying as it may be, lately. The entire species'd be better off if global gen pop wasn't such a fuckin' crab bucket of slack-jawed idiocy. gestures at certain others here 🤷🏽♂️
But I mean it's a question of how you define food at that point. How would you define food?
Nutrition/nourishment is a zero-tolerance requirement.
Fast food, et al, has lobbied against this and other fundamental aspects of the term for ages — to the point now that we're apparently discussing differences in "personal definitions" of the basic linguistic term.
I mean, fuck. What is and what isn't "food" is such a baseline at every level (ie. micro to macro) that the vast majority of organic life doesn't riff on the tableture — let alone do so with fanboi frothy zeal and only the assurances of randos trying to pitch the squawk of shit as "music".🤦🏼♂️
You are what you eat, friends. Do better. You don't have to be shit. 😘
As bad as it is for you a Big Mac does have nutrition. There are things like protein and calcium in there.
Keep handjobbin' ol' Ronald and telling yourself he loves you. The mental gymnastics you're displaying are a coping mechanism. Stop eating shit.
