Should one eat lettuce when it has gone to seed, perhaps not
tasting as good? Or eat a cow or chicken after it has naturally died or at least died at old age, past its
prime tenderness? These questions are never asked because our food is
constantly entered forcefully into the flows of reserve pleasure objects. All
that is allowed is for this phenomenon to be reacted against. To start to
contemplate these questions is to ask what these living things actually want,
and to sit in the pain of not being the center of the universe.
