White Bread, With New and Improved Poverty Flavor

We are labeled by everything. Every choice we make forces others to judge us on some level. How we dress, the food we eat, what job we aspire to obtain - even dreams must correspond to social class or I can only imagine that the disappointment would be unbearable.

i agree.. like are we really doing all this work in high school to be "cool" because it will actually make our lives better when we're older? i always just figured that after high school, it's not like this anymore, but the things we've been watching and talking about in class made me realize that i might have actually been wrong like that. this makes it seem like your whole life is just like one big game in high school.

Somedays I wish we all wore burlap sacks...but maybe not because burlap isn't very breathable.

At least if we all looked like shit judgment would be harder to pass...unless we found a way to classify certain sacks...like hey your burlap is more textured so you're better than me...get it get it.
