I left the US in 2009 and I’m never going back because fuck no, but the whole “avocado toast” thing really drove home to me how bad things have gotten. When I was growing up, the luxury foods we talked about were things like caviar, and lobster, and massive T-bone steaks. Now it’s a piece of fruit and a slice of bread? That just boggles my mind, the transition of luxury to such a simple meal. Just a piece of fruit and a slice of bread, that’s too wasteful for the generation after mine to expect.
