Literally this is what thinking humans choose to do

Depends how quickly the line is moving.

I mean yes, lol at waiting in line for something like chipotle

but if i'm on vacation going to an iconic restaurant with 5-star nutrients, then no i wouldn't lol at that

just plan as well as you can to minimize the wait, like making reservations and stuff like that, and there's really no reason to be waiting for food these days

I went to a bbq in Austin where you are literally expected to bring a folding chair and drink alcohol for like 3 hrs while you wait in line for above average proteins.

Our culture is ridiculous. No nutrients are worth that long of a wait. It's all hype.

No doubt hype is a large part of it but I've had some meals in my life that are so memorable I'd wait in line for 3 hours just to have them again.

Nothing surprising about that in America. Literally a "food culture".

A driver for a freight company and my former boss are members of the "fat guy club" on facebook that just post about over eating and all the glorious high calorie and carb foods they eat. Like literal 3 pound burritos and shit.

It's just food. You need it to not die. That's it.

It's just sex, you need it to continue the human species.
It's just beer, in fact it's a poison and you don't need it at all.
It's just human contact, you need it to gain resources and that's it.

You can reduce just about anything enjoyable in life to that or less than that.

Btw that doesn't mean I'd wait in line all day for bbq though, that's a bit over the top. It'd have to be the best bbq of my life.

Lmao I was in Tokyo and my wife wanted to eat at this sushi place. The wait was three fucking hours. You get your number and and there were literally 80 people you have to wait to eat before you can. Luckily it was in a mall so I could wander around but it was crazy. The dude who came out and read the numbers off would wait like 3 seconds for a reply and then move on. Its kinda hard to enjoy your meal when you know there is 100 people waiting for a seat tho

Well sure you can. But food, and the nutrients in them are just needed to survive.

Sex is amazing whether you are trying to procreate or not. Intimacy with another person is an activity that is almost essential for a strong bond between to people and enhances the relationship.

Beer saves many in past years where what water was available was undrinkable or people were unable to get drinkable water. Now you might could debate if that was best for their health in the long run. But immediately then it saved them from dehydration.

Human contact is actually becoming a worrisome thing in this generation. Lots of shut ins afraid of contact in the outside world and rely on electronic interchanges. And we can see how it changes an entire generation.

Food as more than food, unchecked and lusted after as it in the US is why we have a obesity and diabetes epidemic claiming lives at young ages. Yeah a BBQ sandwich is good. And I have favorites foods. But seeing it as too much more is why as I mentioned before why a lot of Americans are in the health conditions they are.

Everything you mentioned besides alcohol seems far more important to have an elevated view on than food. Those things enhance your life. Food just keeps you alive.

Worth the price but not worth the wait

All this aside, I wouldn't say I eat to keep me alive. If I ate to keep me alive I'd exist on 4 meals a week of broccoli and chicken and save an absolute fortune.
