and we may find out what it's cost is, after a certain point: a kind of malnutrition? of the ingredients of an authentic life; one not-based upon ever-increasing consumption of stuff.
Of course, no one has had to face the consequences of consumption on this scale, before ('course too, that word used to mean "a kind of wasting disease" - and we have a pretty Big one of those rampant now).
So just possibly, "hunger for bread" may not be the only kind as leads to.. a desire for 'change'. Y'know?
Could happen.
