Howl Imitation

I see a generation of people bound together by material goods, who only want more even though they are already surrounded by way too much.

A generation that says “large please” when ordering the already unhealthy burger, fries, and soda from the local fast food restraint, while complaining when it takes longer than 30 seconds to receive the food.

I see a generation so immersed in technology that they don’t see what is going on around them, like when they are driving down the road 80 miles per hour texting and looking down at their phone.

A group of people who stands hours in lines for free food as well as the newest latest and greatest piece of technology.

I see a generation of people becoming more and more round and more and more lazy every day. A group of people who are saying tomorrow I will start, day after day after day.

A group of people so drastically different from the last, so changing and unconnected from the past generations. So stuck in the “new ways” that they don’t know any different, creating TV shows out of things that used to be considered highly inappropriate.

I see a generation that should reconsider all their values, beliefs, and morals and create a more positive look for the generations to come.

  3. You got me! I'm one of those rounder types who says she is going to start tomorrow. Honestly, in terms of weight, I think what separates us from previous generations isn't food but lack of physical work. Unrelated: I'm curious which TV shows you're referring to!
