Whether we want to admit it or not, society has become all about mass consumption. We like our food fast, our entertainment free and plentiful, our information in an instant, and our broadband connected non-stop. We want as much was we can handle as quick as we can get it.

There are some things that we have just grown to love. For some, it’s a glorious sunny day, a soothing massage or a relaxing day. For others, it’s a delicious slice of cake, a nice cup of coffee or a delectable box of chocolates. Then again, for some other people, it’s simply going to McDonald’s.
