getting better?

So I'm still writing papers and I'm still not cooking as much but I had the best experience last night. A friend who knew what a rut I was in with this paper made me dinner and brought it down to me. I was able to eat some fresh veg and pasta with good company and not take out too much time from studying. It was just what I needed and I finished my work before midnight! I am eternally grateful for such community and caring. And to be honest, completely petrified that I won't find this where I am going. Le sigh.

On another note, another evening of paper writing and not stopping to cook. I am living on the rather prepared foods that I got just for this occasion and it makes me think about the options that we have as busy people in a fast paced world. We stress both eating healthy and eating as a means to an end (rather than an end in itself). So we end up with this process, self-professed healthy food. This seems like an oxymoron to me. Can we have food that is holistically healthy and processed? Are the organic frozen wontons that I bought okay with me? It certainly isn't my first choice, but is it an acceptable alternative? I need to think about this more, but first I need to think about ancient agrarian societies and the prophecies of doom against them.
