垃圾食品折射社会等级

一些人自称同情劳动阶级却如此鄙视劳动阶级的饮食习惯，我常为此感到沮丧。今年夏天我看到一家麦当劳门口的一个抗议活动似乎完全基于这样一个事实：这些食物“令人恶心”。受够了从美学角度针对垃圾食品的争论很多人喜欢垃圾食品，如果因此认为他们愚蠢或庸俗实属冒犯。

Junk Food and Class

It has always seemed depressing to me that the people who claim to sympathise with the working classes have such contempt for their culinary habits. I saw a demo outside a McDonald＇s this summer that seemed to be based entirely on the fact that the food is ＂disgusting＂. Enough with the aesthetic arguments against junk food： plenty of people enjoy it, and to dismiss them all as thick or vulgar is offensive.
