Your Meal
Man eats. Constantly.
Man began by stabbing wild game to death with rocks and sticks.
Now, whole fields are harvested in one sitting and food can be kept on hand for years and years.
Americans eat three meals a day.
We eat whatever we can get our hands on, be it good or mediocre.
The same thing goes for our information.
Whatever is the most convenient
we immediately accept as the truth. We absorb it, digest it, and let it fuel us until we’ve milked it for all it is worth a pass it on.
Many foreign countries eat only when they are hungry.
They eat what they like and what gives them the most nourishment and energy to tackle their days.
America is truly a country of media gluttons.
Just as our stomachs gain nourishment, our minds and souls require the same.
Feeding one more than the other can make a person sloppy and unproductive or rigid and uptight.
As with food, the higher quality of information, the better it will serve ones mind.
What do you consider the junk food of the mind?
Is TV the equivalent of an entire chocolate cake?
Is newsprint a carrot? Is there a committee to decide where this information lies?
Are there really media gluttons?
