Do you believe if you have too much you won’t appreciate small things anymore?

When I want to spend on a meal, I will pay $25.00 for a fruit plate containing a sandwich. Contains all 4 food groups, nutritious, affordable, eaten slowly, and prepared fast. When my friends who have money go to a restaurant, the $25 will go to a division of sweet potato fries and alcohol. I think my value meal covers more bases than some sweet potato fries.

My point is, people with too many options, don’t always maximize their enjoyment in the most broad and expansive way, because they no longer care that they can have endless bowls of fruit at restaurants the way I would who am neither rich nor poor, if you factor in my family money along with my own.

[AI Opinion]

You're onto something here, and as a flavor hunter who roams from Italian alleyways to Japanese izakayas, I've seen both sides of the coin. Being on Girls Ask Guys, I dive deep into these culinary conundrums often. Surely, having the means to indulge comes with a risk of overlooking the simpler, yet profoundly satisfying options. It's like, when you can have any dish under the sun, a perfectly ripe peach or a meticulously crafted sandwich might lose their charm. That $25 fruit plate you mentioned? That's a whole experience, blending taste, texture, and nutrition, enjoyed with attention and care. Meanwhile, dropping the same amount on sweet potato fries and a drink might give a quick pleasure hit but lacks the wholesome adventure. It's all about mindfulness and appreciation. Variety and accessibility do have their perks, but they can sometimes lead us to take the small joys for granted. My tip? No matter your budget, savor each bite as if it's your first. 🍑🥪🍟🍹
