Yeah.
Yeah, I hear that.
And I don't want to suggest that there's some sort of, you know, simple answer to that conundrum that you described.
But I would like to notice one thing though, which is
In nineteen forty
We spent
Something like forty percent of our incomes on food.
And in the United States today, people spend about eight percent of their incomes on food.
And so an interesting question would be, well, w where where's where's the rest of that money gone?
How much of that goes to incredibly complicated and expensive automobiles instead of into really great public transportation like you know you and I both enjoy in London?
How much of that goes into sort of trying to keep up with the Joneses in terms of what we wear?
How much of that goes into things that don't actually
um lead to our well being.
And so I think I think
Real conscious consumption requires an examination of
are every part of how we live, not just at the margin what carrots we buy.
I I'm I'm not trying to slip out and say it's easy.
I don't think it is easy.
But we also have to decide what other things we're what other elements of lifestyle we're buying into.
that cause us to feel like we can only spend eight percent of our incomes on food.
