Feeding

While driving today a song by CItizen Fish came up on random called ‘Feeding’. It got me thinking how the way of thinking of thoughtful consumption can apply in many different ways. Channels, topics, feeds, friends, foods, etc all should be dealt with thoughtfully. A series of posts has come to mind that I will follow up with.

Below find the lyrics and the song itself.

We’re feeding on facts, we’re feeding on fiction
Feeding cos we need to eat
Supplying our minds with information
But half of it is incomplete

They used to wrap chips in newspapers
Now they microwave fast food
We end up picking at rumours
In the hope of a grain of truth

Do you know what you are feeding?
Do you know what you are fed?

We say we don’t believe all that we read
But is anyone reading at all?
Or merely feeding on what’s being fed
In the hope of feeling full?

We all need to be resources
Rather than receptacles
There’s too many lies and rumours
To recognise them all

Do you know what you are feeding?
Do you know what you are fed?

Do you know what you are feeding?
Do you know what you are fed?
Do you repeat what is worth repeating?
Or store it all inside your head?

Be a source of information
Inspire debate, protest and go!
Feed on food for thought reaction
If no-one feeds it, grow your own!
If no-one feeds it, grow your own!
If no-one feeds it, grow your own!
