  1.  @GK-yh9yh  There's nothing wrong with people being able to find and purchase products that they desire, starting with food, clothing and shelter, but man does not live by bread, alone. And who am I to say what someone else shouldn't have? "Consumerism" is kind of a buzzword. People shouldn't be ashamed of having nice things. I think more people should have more nice things. But mindless greed and pursuit of toys? If that's what you mean, then OK. I do miss the days before everything was done up with plastic wrap. 3 lbs of ground chuck, please. And old Jim Kintner would shovel 3 lbs on the scale and zick-zick-zick, hand Mom her 3 lbs of ground chuck, wrapped in butcher's paper, taped closed with butcher's tape. We went to the dairy and got our milk in re-usable glass jugs. You got a deposit back for returning them, but they were also just really nice containers! We had a bunch of them collected, and would fill them with spring water in the summertime. I'm pretty surprised and disappointed at the plastic packaging we use. I thought the generation in charge cared about the environment.
