Hmm, yes, today I will have 2 slices of a slurry of starch, industrial chemicals, and corn syrup that meets the legal definition of "bread," 3 oz. of poultry scraps glued together to resemble "meat," a smear of soybean oil and emulsifiers designed to simulate "mayonnaise," 1 oz. of canola oil, emulsifiers and dyes extracted from crude oil meant to approximate "cheese," an apple stored for a year in a warehouse filled with 1-methylcyclopropene gas to prevent rotting, and a cup of water flavored with pool cleaner and fluoride.
If I eat this same lunch each day for the next 20 years and home prices do not further increase, I will be able to put a down payment on a starter home surrounded by foreigners and fentanyl addicts and maybe drink a cup of corn syrup and flavorings with my lunch instead of plain water.
I am living in the greatest country in human history.
