Leaf Lord (npub1jac…zppv) 🌲Fæġer Mæġden🌲 (npub1g0u…3vfw) Of old food was eaten communally, with family, & meals were started with prayers. This meant the base pleasure of eating food was associated & subordinated in the mind with the higher goods of love of kin, kith, & God. Which, paradoxically, elevated the base pleasure, giving it a place at the table in a higher order of meaning. Stripped of such things however, eating in isolation for pleasure's sake alone, it becomes base again, unchains a miserable desire more rampant than the wildest beast, to consoom for consooming's sake. It's no wonder persons who eat in such a way feel compelled to pollute themselves with the most degenerative slop -- they seek its "tastiness", which lacks the depth of real food, but which is crafted to appease an addictive desire for sugars, salts, & cheap grease, which stands next to real food as CGI-laden stimulus-circuses stand next to real cinema. Or as prostitution stands next to marriage. Clothed in scarlet & purple, Babylon the Great, the whore, offering a feeding-trough of poisoned "delights" that like all the empty promises of the Enemy provide short-term satisfaction of a wayward lust, at the expense of the gain of long-term grief.

We need to do food right again.
