Hey Kal, No I think mango season has just finished here. I moved house from where the big mango tree was before, but I did dig up a seedling from it so one day I will have the same ones.
I think this issue is more likely in an arranged marriage. If you choose your own partner because you love them, you'd accept whatever imperfections a person has. I'm sure the man has some scars or imperfections himself, certainly being unrealistic is one of them.
I understand many jobs are not valued as they should be- medical, child care, charity work etc... I also understand there are places with great disparity, like India or the Philippines etc. where there is fantastic wealth next to miserable poverty... Blah blah blah, look at me I'm a shining beacon of humanity.
The OP being in Australia, I presumed he was speaking in the Australian context, we don't really have a class system as such. We're all middle class if we choose to be, or we can choose to hit the drugs and booze and be lower class, or get out of bed early/work really hard and be in an affluent class.
It's great taking older women to the cinema, you get to see lethal weapon 5, and she get's some knitting done on that cardigan she's been fussing over.
I'd like to start by pointing out we won the war easily.
But apart from that, it comes down to money. We want cheaper meat and eggs etc., and the only way this can be provided is by scale of economy. Ultimately, the true cost of this is at the expense of animal welfare. Unfortunately, the most concern is for "charisma" species like horses and koalas... Easy to have a big feed of bacon and eggs, then put on a leather jacket and leather boots, then drive to a protest about koala habitats or global warming. Or blog about horses being mistreated elsewhere, pretending that is the only place it happens,
