“Few travelled in these days, for, thanks to the advance of science, the earth was exactly alike all over. Rapid intercourse, from which the previous civilisation had hoped so much, had ended by defeating itself. What was the good of going to Peking when it was just like Shrewsbury? Why return to Shrewsbury when it would all be like Peking? Men seldom moved their bodies; all unrest was concentrated in the soul.” (E.M. Forster, The Machine Stops, 1909)

Where do the thoughts come from to choose the food? 

On a relative level, the environment, memory and the senses. At the absolute level from consciousness....

The Way

When from the depth of our hearts

We desire something more than material powers,

The wave of destruction will end,

Thence peace will come , joy will come,

Light will come.

the most essential kind of power is that of killing which takes many forms in men's life... each meal is a sacrifice ritual they crave as a 'reward', many of them having no other thought in mind...

sorry that it's off-topic but since we're at it... : )

 

I'll add that there'll never be any possible peace in the world as long as men will kill for food... History proved it for enough long and keeps doing so...

You hadn't been seeking for truth until you were lied to. Therefore both lie and truth are equally unsuitable and undependable.
