  4. Daily slop

    This thread is not really about food but I will begin with an illustration from today. I was out shopping and decided on a whim to have some fast food for lunch. I went to a KFC and a meal there. This is the first time since November (when I went to macDonalds) that I have had this kind of food. The chicken burger (called a 'classical' or something) was mostly tasteless but with some ice cold salad in it which was kind of off putting to crunch into. The fries were covered in a sweet and sour sauce and bits of bacon. I washed it down with a diet Pepsi which tasted mostly of aniseed. There were an unusually large number of overweight people in the restaurant. Parents and children. Everyone was well behaved and the staff were brilliant. In fact, because we had a loyalty card from a supermarket the meal was free!!! This was the best thing about it. I wouldn't go again, unless forced by circumstances; but I have nothing against the place and am happy to allow its continued existence given the need for variety and complexity in our world. It did get me to thinking though. Why is it, that on all levels, physical, emotional and factual our lives today are overflowing with slop. Why are fries coated with sticky sauce? Why is all the taste in the additives? It's the same with TV, the news, everything that is presented to us as being enjoyable. Anything on Facebook or Twitter. Even in lifestyle choices (to use that terrible phrase) we are encouraged to prefer slop and not things that are truly nutritious or wholesome. Is that why the birthrate is dropping? Because people trade the deeply rewarding experience of having children for self indulgent frippery??? Think about your day my friends and give me your best examples of daily slop. NB. Nothing political please!

    Hello and welcome.
  10. There’s an ancient Egyptian story called the shipwrecked sailor which is relevant to the question as to what a god may want from us (in return for whatever we ask from them) - and the answer is for their name to be remembered. There is also a quote from I can’t remember who that ‘worship is continual remembrance’ .

    Hi Jan look forward to hearing more about your journey.
  12. What did you learn from your pet?

    From my cats I learned that the older you get the more bonkers you can be.
