I hate the "higher price = better food" logic. It is SO classist/elitist.
Paying more for fancy labels and acting like you're above fast-food/takeout doesn't do anything to help working-class people who literally cannot allocate that much of their budget to "clean eating". for every single meal they eat. Who can't afford things fancier than CostCo.
It's just giving people an excuse to look down on others and act like they're better than those who can't afford that lifestyle. (Nutritionists and dietitians who use teachings from 30+ years ago and are guided by white supremacist "health" rules, I'm looking at you)
But wait!! There's more!!
I also hate how obsessed people are with calories. High-calorie food does NOT mean unhealthy food.
As somebody who was raised in a "low-calorie, high food value" household...it's bullshit.
Low calorie, mostly plant based meals aren't good for everyone. And I'm tired of pretending that they are.
Anyways, I'm gonna go eat my fast food and high calorie protein and carbs now.

It posits itself as this fun, quirky puzzle game, but that's so clearly not what it is even 5 minutes in. This supposedly bustling science facility is completely silent. No one is watching through the observation windows, the test chambers are visibly dirtied and worn, and the only voice you hear throughout the entire game is the "Pre-Recorded" GLaDOS, who is consistently glitching and saying things that are slightly ominous. This feeling is only amplified by Kelly Bailey's masterful soundtrack, which similarly to Half-Life 2, creates this feeling of loneliness and abandonment. It all comes to a head in Chamber 16 when you finally see Doug Rattman's writings for the first time and realize "Something is VERY wrong here." Afterwards, you learn more and more about how fucked Aperture really is, like how the water in the test chambers is actually a result of flooding, how the Turrets are very much NOT a testing element, and how the Iconic Cake is in fact, a lie. This all comes to a head in the final chamber when the illusion completely falls away and GLaDOS is revealed as a killer, leading into the game's final act. However, even after the Reveal, Portal still manages to keep its horror elements, as GLaDOS slowly hunts you throughout the facility. Stalking, waiting. It's still quiet, still lonely. But now the danger is real, and it's coming for you.
Happy 14th Birthday to Portal 2
