"My dislike 4 people posting food in FaceBook to show off their culinary affluence is capable of enlarging into a misanthropy toward the whole mankind."
Why? This I ask every time somebody/ friends post food in
Facebook they either are about to eat or just ate.
I mean, don't you have that
little sensitivity bone in your body that tells you that not all
people can afford the kind of food you've just put on display for
the whole world to see? Studies have shown that a hunger hormone
can trigger and influence depression and anxiety. Poor people
have access to facebook too you know? Some poor homeless guy can
easily get depressed at the gorgeous sight of this plated steak
that you so smuggishly showcased in your wall post. You people
even have the audacity to add additional comments like- " Best
steak I've eaten in years." Or, an equally conceited yet simple
tag like- "Spiral Restaurant during lunch break." Then you wait for
other people to comment cause you know that it's a 2000 peso
plate and somebody has to know that you spending 2000 for lunch
is like- normal for you. What? Do you think you're the only
person who goes out and dines fancy and then takes a well lighted
photo of their food? Hello? I eat out also! I dine too! I just do
it less often. Like once a year. But the experience still falls
within the vicinity of fine dining! Max's Restaurant baby! Eat
your heart out!
The truth is Im jealous. Jealous of not having a culinary moment
i can proudly call my own.
I eat out and its either a crappy resto or your run-of-the-mill
fast food joint where everything is less than a Sergio Osmena.
I have food in front of me and Im thinking- "Okay, this food does
not merit a Kodak moment". Who in their right mind takes a
picture of their thirty five peso Jollyjeep lunch food inside a
plastic ice bag?
Bottomline is, I should spend more for food.
That is if I had more.
But I dont.
Hence,my gastronomic inferiority towards food and the people who
showcase them.
This.. is my little gastronomic issue.
And I don't have to hear it from you because I already know!
I'm a sick and insecure bastard who's been eating too much
Minute burgers and MiniStop siopaos.
This time I'll let you win. I won't even dispute this. Not until
next year when it's time for--
Max's Restaurant baby!
Eat your heart out.
