[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a class thing with millennials. More so than it was for other generations. There were always people who looked down on certain kinds of food, including fast food or ball park food, but you'd also find rich people who enjoyed foods like this and no one was freaking out about it. No one has ever advocated for eating all your meals at McDonalds or something, but it used to not be considered poor form to grab a Big Mac now and then or to enjoy a hot dog at a ballgame.

But now there are all these people who think every single bit of food you put in your mouth needs to be both a moral and a political statement. So it needs to be organic, locally sourced, GMO-free, healthy according to current health trends, and preferable from a certain kind of restaurant or store (upscale, very clean, with nice lighting and a neutral color scheme). It's about projecting an image and a philosophy. It used to be that eating at McDonald's meant you were hungry and it was convenient and affordably priced -- no politics. Now it means you support factory farming, work exploitation, climate change, and the destruction of local businesses.

It is exhausting, it's best to simply not speak to people like this.[/quote]
