    This reminds me of this quote when Capitalism WAS historically progressive:

    Specifically...

    It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation.

    But imagine that, but with food

    For example, remember Italian cuisine... seems like it wasn't ancient at all?

      It's almost funny that the creation of "Authentic Italian food" is contemporaneous with the futurist movement trying to get Italians to eat autoclaved rice with iron shavings and perfume
