final two

The culture I live in today is based on material objects. Be it the toys and electronics or the plastic surgery that women go through to make their appearance better looking. Everyone in the society gets off on it and no one gets back to the basics the simple things in life. Everyone needs that extra something to get that high so they can enjoy the shitty life they have for five minutes. Instead of making life for them and the other around them better. And the material objects go even farther than the iPods it even ties into the food. The food in the culture that I live in is just like the material things. We just use it to get full and move on to the more important things in our life, when in essence food is probably the most important thing in our lives next to water. Food in our culture is one aspect of a larger nightmare.
Food is a rather medium size puzzle in the problem with our society. If you thing of our society as a triangle food would be in the middle sandwiched by peak oil on top the smaller piece and the peoples mindset on the bottom the largest piece. And each piece ties into one another by if peak oil eventually happens the food system we live off will collapse and the reason for peak oil to happen is the mindset of the people thinking that it’s a hoax and truly not going to happen. What really should happen to make this triangle puzzle the solution and not the problem is the smallest piece should be the peoples mindset because we should all be on the same page about how badly run our food system is and peak oil is inevitable. Then the medium sized piece should be peak oil because if we do not act fast we will be unprepared and due to that people will die and the more prepared we are the less deaths to happen. And finally the last piece is the largest and its our food. This is the biggest concern because it is completely relying on oil and if everyone is on the same page we know is going to peak and then in turn collapse and be useless to everyone. And with out oil people will not be able to get food because the system will crash and no longer be there. So if we get on the same page prepare for peak oil and change the food system we will all live longer and happier lives.
The culture we live in these days is just so complex. Everything is made to be easy but you have twelve easy steps to do it. And the way to right our wrongs is to get back to the basics and the simple way of life. We need to stop this fight against nature and work with nature. Once we get on that path everything will fall into place and the things that we should really cherish will rise to the surface and mean more than anything to everyone.
