Consumption.

Why is it that we let what we consume define us? Shouldn't we be deeper than that?

Think about it. It works for foods and products. But I think it's more poignant with the foods. You are what you eat, in a cultural context.

The girl who eats a Turkey and Cheese Sandwich every day. The guy who eats a T-bone steak. The teenage girl who's forever sucking on a lollipop. The couple who drink champagne on a daily basis.

Eating is so temporal. Why is it that we define ourselves with something so insignificant to who we are?
