Bowl food???
Like, ALPO???
Throughout world history many countries have been prosperous and happy. These times people eat food on plates. Meats that keep to their own shape, fresh and whole fruits and veggies that stay on another side of the plate. Dry surfaces to take in spices and seasonings.
When countries are destitute and poor, the people switch to bowls and finally... their hands. The food is more of a “Cake”(Let them eat cake isn’t about baked goods). Bowls hold the chaff better than plates.
The transition from plates to bowls is more important than many realise. Like the appearance of tattoo parlors, tanning parlors and nail salons means your neighborhood is no longer safe. Pitbulls at the kennels and grilled cheese sandwich restaurants. All of these are signs that we are getting poorer. But to put a smile on it the socialist/communist will make it cool and trendy.
