1. I’ve decided after some consideration to not go to restaurants at all in 2023. You can call this a New Year’s Resolution. It’ll require at least some sacrifice, pain, annoyance to myself and perhaps others, but I’m going to stick by it and I think it will have a good effect. Restaurants are a drastically over-used creature comfort of the consumerist economy… even worse, nowadays they’re not even comfortable… Especially now that portions are smaller more expensive than ever, it’s hard to go to a restaurant without feeling cheated. All of this is fortunate, though, since relying on the ease of restaurants is a vice. It is now easier than ever to quit it without missing anything but disappointment. Here Are the Rules. When I travel alone, I will flatly never eat at a restaurant, no matter what. I will pack food, or prepare food bought at a grocery store. At time when I might usually offer to go to restaurants out with people, I will serve them at home. I’ll get in the habit of preparing and carrying food—not snacks—but food when I will need it. This will include trips. If I have not prepared food while out, I will go hungry. Oh well! I have even already forewarned people in my life about my adherence to this. I’m not saying I’m going to throw a Richard Stallman-style sperg-out when asked to go to a restaurant, but I will find a novel alternative. If I do go physically to a restaurant with people, obviously I will order nothing and eat nothing, not even free tortilla chips (because it’s not just about the money, either).
