Sucker born every minute

This is a classic case of affluenza. The medical condition associated with feeling anxious and whiny that we are not getting everything we want because we have come to expect to get everything that we want.

A research study that says that food pickiness is genetic.

Picky Eaters? They Get It From You

How wonderfully and pathetically self-centered affluence allows us to be.

In my day, we called this spoiled. And I see it all over the map, no matter how rich or poor folks are in America. Because that's just what all this affluence in a free society affords us.

That and plenty of medicating and escaping our deeper needs and pains.

I wish Abraham Maslow was around for one last chat. He had a lot to say about this. All this low grumbling. He'd be a interesting friend to have around. And someone with more interesting conversation than how to get your kids to eat their broccoli.

Love,
Ben
