Oh man. Heading right to the pantry after that. Sweet and savory things are calling me. I hope the "fast" will be worth it in the end. I must commend you.
Lol. I have faith in you. You'll be able to enjoy a cheeseburger again in the not too distant future I'm sure. Those nachos in that pic looked pretty darn good and we can't be mad at the quesadillas either.
Hangry Man reaches irate nirvana one gripe at a time. Keep starvin buster, it honestly is good for the soul and no bull.
You know as a regular non-American human it's always an eye-opener as to how much Americans really are enthralled (in the fullest sense of the word) by junk food brands. All that artificial pseudogoodness trapping your tastebuds in addictive moreness.
It's here too, but still not part of the regular life rhythm of where I live, where 'snack breaks' are really coffee breaks. People can go whole hours at a time, even a day entire, without snacking on salted MSG snacks or slurping sugarwater.
This thoughtless grabbing for empty calories out of habit is what makes America so great in unrelenting need. Not intended as a personal reflection on you; instead a reflection on the cultural habits of a nation with so much much more of the wrong stuff than it physically needs, driven to insane levels of physical consumption. From the outside it looks like having Felliniesque Ancient Roman banquets every day of the week, larks' tongues in aspic and jellyfish fricasee to go.
I agree on all counts. Once a culture starts stuffing its pizza crust with other indulgences, it's in trouble. So why not take my Americanism the opposite way and give up food altogether? Overdone frugality? Call it what you will.
Joking aside, I do find clarity every time I do this. As Italian Futurist Marinetti said, "The stomach expands at the expense of the brain."

A considerable recalibration happened this time. Quesadillas became gourmet. Now I'm worried. How will I ever again enjoy a cheeseburger?
