What food would you give up the Internet for?

with 2 comments

Tammy and I had a really funny conversation today on the way home from the grocery store. I prompted the question of giving up the Internet for something. For example, if you were forced, would you give up chocolate, or the Internet. Forever. Not a month, but permanently. Would you never have another bite of chocolate so you could continue to bathe in the wonders of the Internet.

To me this question was simple — I’d be passing on the chocolate. I love chocolate. Don’t get me wrong. Lindt and Vosges are very special brands in my book. But compared to the Internet, it’s no question.

I theorized that if given the choice of continuing to use the Internet or drinking nutrient complete meal replacement shakes that I would have to think for a long time. What flavors exactly? Tammy laughed at me, citing that I wouldn’t make it through a single Thanksgiving.

So, that made me wonder, what would your breaking point be? What food do you care so much about that you would abandon the Internet forever for it. Comment here…

  1. I would give up all food and be sustained via IV if it meant that I would get to keep the Internet. I couldn’t live without wikipedia, pubmed, or lectures online. I am far too dependent. :-)

  2. I’m with Brent on this one. I don’t think any single food could compare. We’re talking entire food groups. And in the end I’d probably be better off.

    For example, meat and dairy on one hand, internet on the other? I’d be a vegan. Probably live longer carpel tunnel and all.

    Alcohol now. Or the internet. That one would be a problem.

    Hmm… You know, that sounds a little bit more pathetic than I was expecting. :)
