the typing of this response was delayed by the discovery that an almost 2yo boy discovered the butter dish abd was going to attempt to eat the butter instead of his toast...
very well said, much agreed.
fat acceptance, don't know, self-acceptance, yes, very important. i am where i'm at, and that's ok, quirks and all. i'm surrounded by a culture that i'm increasingly needing to tune out.
it's not just the cars or the brain sucking flickering boxes in our living rooms. it's so much more of our technology than that. you want a bath, turn the knob. that's a far cry from haul the water, heat the water, pour it, etc. imagine you want a cake for a party. you drive to the store and buy one. or you want to bake it yourself. pick up a box and a can of frosting. even if you do want to measure the ingredients, how do you mix it? plug in the mixer. and that's not even including how we get our ingredients. how much muscle used to go into the preparation of one meal. it's not just about what we're eating but how we're preparing it.
oprah (yes, oprah) not too long ago had a show about the healthiest areas of the world/where people lived the longest. in one of them, they focused on the meal that was prepared and how much energy went into making it. it reminded me of those pbs shows where they take modern families and put them in a frontier/colonial setting. very interesting food for thought.
