Re: Classism in fandom

[(Anonymous)]

Because bread, especially bread sans artificial additives, keeps so damn well. And people living in converted-closet apartments have the space for a bread maker. And the money to buy one, even used. And a place to buy flour in bulk. And store flour in bulk. And transport flour in bulk. 50 lbs sans car=no fun. And money to keep the electricity on and buy flour in the first place. And so on.

My family walked a tightrope between working and lower-middle class when I was growing up, but my dad was obsessed with healthy eating, so we went without new clothes so we could buy organic. Meat was an occasional flavoring and never the actual meal. We ate tons of rice and beans and yet somehow escaped the dreaded lentil scourge. I'm poorer than my family was, but I still don't often eat lentils, mainly because they're not actually all that cheap where I am. Bulk pinto beans are lots cheaper at the local Mexican market and also I know more ways to cook them. I learned to cook from a young age, which lots of poor people never do, and I have time to cook because I'm under-employed when a lot of working poor work multiple jobs and eat on the run because if they have down time they fall over exhausted. People who froth at the mouth about "eat moar lentils" never think this shit through, or try it themselves for longer than a few days so they can blog/brag about how virtuous they are.

Whenever that comes up, I tell them to eat that, themselves, for 3-6 weeks straight and then come talk to me.

The reactions to that have been...interesting.
