Kim writes Allconsuming.

Allconsuming is  subtitled “A case study in domestic oblivion”. In plasticated madness, Kim rails against shopping mall food halls:

Then there are the food ‘halls’.

A little piece of me dies every time I have to even pass through these constructs. All these people sitting surrounded by bags and bags of things they’ve purchased. Kids going feral, teenagers perfecting their emo sitting slouch, parents looking worn out by life, carers with adults with special needs, old people eating McDonalds. It is single-handedly the most depressing reflection on modern society. With a naan bread on the side.

Kim, I feel the same way. I sometimes imagine some beady-eyed Al Qaedah terrorist lunatic seeing food halls as the ultimate extension of western decadence and planning some evil act of mass murder. I am a little embarrassed to be seen in food halls.
