This book is very simple and will explain what it really is like. You may not like it, but it is so, so stop fooling yourself. For the most part, this book will focus on those of us fortunate enough to live here in the good old America of A. Believe it or not, we live in one of the few places in the world where we really have the luxury of to even be able to worry about the fact that we are not so lucky.
Most of us complain about the way things are in life, when most of the time the main thing that is wrong is that we are too lazy and complacent to do something about which we need to change. Take, for example, McDonald’s.
A few weeks ago, I was reading about how McDonald’s opened a healthy new version, considered by McDonald’s standards, of its fast food store in Columbus Ohio. The only difference between this water hole and your typical McDonald’s were a few stationary bikes that the kids could sell in a feeble attempt to eliminate the massive amounts of food they had just eaten …
Hmm, let’s see, that seems to make sense. In the accompanying image, I saw an extremely overweight twelve-year-old smiling and sitting in front of a Big Mac, an extra-large order of French fries, four cheeseburgers, an apple pie, and a coca-cola the size of a bucket to accompany it. Now, according to the article, Jr. Bulimic consumed the food and then burned 60 of the 2,800 calories he had consumed on his stationary bike.
The point is, McDonald’s understands human nature better than most corporations. They know that all they have to do is make it look like they are doing something about people’s health, and that will give people a reason to justify gorging themselves on delicious McDonald’s entrees. Humans will do what feels good, regardless of health and financial cost. And mindset is the source of many of our flaws. That’s what our generation is about.
Is there anything wrong with that? Well yes and no. Everything has become extremely complicated when it comes to living in a society where values have been dictated by corporate media advertising that tries to get everyone to buy something that we don’t really need. We are unique in that we are the first generation of human beings who have been completely weaned from advertising in the corporate media. From birth to death we are bombarded with advertising. That includes news, books, movies, and whatever else we buy to collect what we call information.

Unless you’re prepared to change, life will take a beating too, and the only thing you’ll leave behind is a small slip mark on life’s underwear.
