I am surrounded by food, . 24-hour restaurants, people constantly filling their faces. How about the catering trucks that honk their horns at construction sites and dispense a gooey range of sugary tooth decayers? It's got to stop! Stop the food, I want to get off! It's not easy. You could try hiding in an art gallery, but they zap you with a load of popcorn outside the door. The Library is a great place to hide, but after it closes you are forced out on the street where you are bound to see at least one poster imploring you to buy the greatest edible garbage going -- the new, exciting different Snackos, or Muncheez or whatever. We enjoy culture in our lives, maybe the theatre. They get you in there too with the bar at intermission and food. How about the movies? Cinemas usually set aside a few rows for the non-smokers, but what about the non-munchers? There's no special seating for us. We have to sit surrounded by the popcorn people, the pop slurpers and the candy bar crunchers. Are there social activities without food? Precious few. Visit a dear friend and she never leaves the kitchen, she's so busy preparing the latest snacks. Never mind, you can read all her food magazines while you wait! Visiting teacher includes coffee and cookies. Why can't she hand out those apples instead? > Try a museum -- there's no food in there -- you know that from all the skeletons. But beware the candy-apple man as you leave. I think the only place to escape food is in church. You could stay there and pray you won't gain any more weight. Food is synonomous with any occasion. We are obessed with food. We used to be the "jet-set", now we've become the "T.V. set" where we munch ourselves into fat oblivion. I don't want to end up in fat oblivion. I'm looking for the great escape, but where can I go to escape from food? Mars, maybe!
