How the Media is Similar to Food

I'm not really sure how I thought of this analogy, but I was thinking about how we take in media is similar to how we consume food.  Here are some examples:

  • There are certain types that we crave and can't seem to get enough of, even though we know it's not really very healthy for us.
  • The kinds that are good for us we enjoy, but probably don't get enough of. 
  • We're willing to spend extra amounts of money to go out and enjoy it rather than enjoying it from home. 
  • Certain types can be addicting.
  • It's unavoidable.

    And you eat when your bored, you watch TV when you're bored.
    Great connection! Now that I think about it, they totally go together in my life too :)
