Pop, Capitalism and Junk Food.
Three phenomena that go hand in hand. They are voracious. They swallow everything. They feed us, and they make us fat. They absorb us. They suck all the oxygen out of the air. They fill us. They fill our heads, our pockets, our bellies. They deplete us too. We are just fodder for the engine. We are mulch. We are eaten even as we eat.
We have created these three perpetual motion machines. And they never pause, never stop... it's hard for a human being to keep up. But we try!
