You know, I sometimes realize, mostly after the fact, that I seem to pick a theme and it more or less colors all my posts for that given day. I don\u2019t do this in a conscious manner. It just so happens.<\/p>\n

Well, as I posted earlier about Latoya Peterson\u2019s analysis of mainstream feminism and how it is alienating to minorities (not just racial, but also gender, sexual, political, etc.), I just come across this post by Amanda Marcotte about The convenience of cooking at home<\/a><\/p>\n

And funny enough (well, probably funny is not the right word, as I wanted to cry more than laugh), it perfectly illustrates the issues Latoya elaborated on in her own post. The piece is about McDonald\u2019s new oatmeal breakfast and the author wonders why people would ever consume such product. Given that in Marcotte\u2019s cultural context, McDonald\u2019s is patronized by people of a certain demographic, the obvious class considerations, the glaring privilege proclaims:<\/p>\n

\n

One reason I really got into cooking is perversely that I\u2019m busy and always strapped for time.\u00a0 I found, through trial and error, that as long as I keep my kitchen stocked, it\u2019s just a lot less time to cook than to eat out, even at fast food restaurants.\u00a0 It\u2019s one reason I\u2019ll never, ever understand people who say they buy most of their coffee from coffee shops because it\u2019s \u201cquicker\u201d.\u00a0 Look, it takes the clerk as much time to make your one cup of latte as it would take you to make a whole pot, even if you grind your own beans.\u00a0 Believe me; I\u2019m a time fascist, and I\u2019ve measured.\u00a0 Add to that the travel time, waiting in line, and ordering, and it\u2019s at least double the time and effort, and maybe triple to go to Starbucks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You know what happens when you are poor (amongst a whole set of other issues, of course)? You want to feel good for a moment. You want to feel that, for once, you can sit back and not have to do a thing. Even the downtime she mentions, queuing and waiting for an order is time to be spent as leisure. Because being poor is so much work<\/em>. But of course, when one analyzes the phenomenon of McDonald\u2019s oatmeal from the perspective of one\u2019s own privilege alone, it is easy to dictate that lazy people just do not want to cook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
