Ivy pointed at the humorous but somewhat scary hot fast food dispensers in Japan that serve out hot dogs, fries, and other freeze-dried, instant heated snack foods as an example of how we, consumers, have gotten used to consuming what we want when we want it with little regard for the consequences. The designers who made the fast food machine didn’t think about the preservatives that would be necessary to keep the food frozen till perpetuity; or how that might affect the local restaurants around the train station that might be put out of business; or what kind of dietary effect these foods might have on the kids who eat instant food everyday. While the fast food machine is not intrinsically evil, the problem is that this careless cycle has been perpetuated on every level of design and production around the world. That’s the globalized world for you. But the question is, what now?
