    Buying something you need OR want is not mindless consumerism. Buying something you don’t actually want at all is mindless consumerism.

    I don’t need my food to taste good, I just need calories and nutrients. Am I a consumerist whore if I buy tasty food instead of some kind of dirt cheap nutrient gruel?
