It is the year 2032, seven years since Arby's changed their slogan from "we have the meats" to "your friendly protein distributor"

all fauna over 50 lbs are either extinct or domesticated, and the latter are only used for byproducts such as milk or eggs, not meat.

It is the year 2050, and you are excited.

The familiar effort of tearing through a limp bacon strip

a dry, rubbery puck of ham

the tasteless sponge of a molded scrambled egg filling

the rock hard crunch of an over toasted english muffin

the familiar tang of american cheese

and the piece de resistance, the familiar ennui of a fast food breakfast consumed out of necessity

Looks like Arby's has done it again, you think. Just like how things used to be 27 years ago.

Too bad that hunger was the best spice. Now that digestive systems have been replaced with nutrition intake systems, food consumption is pure ritual.

You marvel at how bland food has become so popular, because it is so "real".

The irony does not escape you.

Your coworker, half your age, drops by to marvel at why you eat this "junk". You wonder what their shoes will be like in 30 years, when they will struggle with questions like these in their own way.
