Good food vs Pretentious food


Even if I were a millionaire, I would rather eat a good hearty, rustic and healthy meal, as opposed to that pretentious "fine dining" rubbish, they serve inside those 1-3 michelin star restaurants.

The people that eat in those establishments look like complete idiots too.

Totally agree. It's very much The Empora's new clothes. Similar to Banksy and all that nonsense art the super rich buy into.

Portion size in a high end restaurant is about what we should be eating. Larger portion sizes are over eating. What you consider to be a hearty, rustic and healthy meal was perfectly fine when the average male was out in the field tending crops or herding cattle and working the land. They needed those calories and more. Today, we expend nowhere close to the amount we would consume in your 'hearty' meal and combined with the other crap we consume, such as sugar laden candy bars and energy drinks and soft drinks, it is a great way to become overweight, diabetic and to give yourself an early heart attack and death.
