It's been a while since I last posted, and nothing much has happened. I am still dissatisfied with urban life, and still want to be out on a farm somewhere. Even though I am just a student in High School, I am starting to look at rural real estate sites, and frankly, I am surprised. For the price of a farm in upstate NY, you can't get a place to live in LA. You can only get an expensive car. People pay ridiculous amounts to live in certain locales.
In Los Angeles, there are people who pretend to be concerned about the food they eat, and they pretend to care. They think that shopping at the farmer's market makes them good people, and connected to their food.
My belief is that if you want to feel a connection to your food, grow it yourself. It's that simple. It will take more effort, but it will be healthier. Some people use farmer's markets at a symbol of status, which is equally repugnant. They believe that people will think of them as superior, due to where they shop.
That's where materialism begins to show. Caring about where things are from, not due to a personal preference, but due to a desire to be acknowledged because of the object.
Are people that shallow??
Malheureusement, oui.
