Apparently I wrote this when I was a little bit younger....
So I am in the kitchen making a chicken wrap. In the living room the TV is blaring. I go to to heat up the chicken and place it on my pita bread when this kids commercial comes on. The commercials had something to do with a tree house and caterpillars that grew 2xs their size everyday until they finally become butterflies. How healthy does that sound? Imagine growing twice your size everyday!! I mean, I am no pioneer for bugs. In fact I hate pretty much all bugs!Yes, even butterflies! My exceptions are fireflies and spiders (which are arachnids anyway), but this is off topic. Anyway, the commercial made me think of how we carry on the tradition of wanting everything instantly, by conditioning even the youngest of children to demand immediate results.
Seriously, think how how many instant things that people want: Instant fame, wealth, success, food (not just fast food, we have instant mashed potatoes for fucks sake!), instant love, instant weight loss, instant photography, instant everything. Take a moment and Google the word instant. How many results come up, hm? 388,000,000 results! Admit it, we've all fallen to the trend of an instant world. I for one love instant photography and even food when it's convenient. We continue to demand instant result and are upset if it things don't work out. Think of how pissy people get when their instant miracle diet doesn't work! Think of the people who make an insane profit from the people who bought the instant miracle diet. Think of how we'd all be fat lazy slobs, if everything in America were instant. We'd have no reason to get off of our fat lazy asses. Oh wait we ARE the most obese country in the world mission accomplished.
