Crappy Meal for Kids
#15 of 20 from the Yaldabaoth’s Witnesses postcard set
Millions of people starve all over the world, and yet we in the industrialized west remain hypnotized by a clown who dances around in that candy-coated parallel universe called television enticing children to eat more ground beef. Of course this is due largely to the course of human evolution - we crave salt, fat and sugar because they were essential to our survival as primitive hunter gatherers. Today, however, this diet contributes only to heart disease and deforestation.
Ironically, the clown at right and the children at left both have bloated stomachs, though for entirely different reasons. The puffed-up bellies of starving children mystified me as a child, but apparently it’s due to some sort of gas generated by tissue breakdown.
This picture can also be seen as a representation of the haves vs. the have-nots in its most basic form. The gap between them is also a gap in understanding.
