the conspicuous consumption of limited resources has yet to be accepted widely as a spiritual error, or even bad manners
In her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life," Barbara Kingsolver highlights the issue of consuming limited resources excessively. She points out that this behavior is often overlooked, not being recognized as a moral failing or even as a breach of basic etiquette. The normalization of such conspicuous consumption raises questions about society's values and the consequences of our choices.
Kingsolver encourages readers to reflect on their consumption patterns and consider the ethical implications of their actions. By bringing attention to the environmental and societal impacts of overconsumption, she challenges us to rethink our relationship with food and resources, advocating for a more sustainable and thoughtful approach to how we live and eat.
