Decided to buy the cheapest bag of frozen strawberries at walmart and literally 1 out of every dozen strawberries has this weird gross chemical taste to it, it's gross
I've been told in the past that my choice to buy more costly organic food was a privileged one.

Sure, it's a privilege, but you can literally taste the difference, especially in fresh foods like vegetables. It turns out that pesticides in your food doesn't taste all that good.
I'm not even principally against GMOs, but having a "race to the bottom" food system that priorities maximizing yield over food quality is probably not going to lead to positive health outcomes imo.
Instead of shaming people for spending more to buy better quality food, perhaps we should do more to actually raise the bar to improve the quality of all food. We really should have higher expectations, because everyone deserves to eat well.

There's a lot of benefit to having a childlike mindset towards life. Allowing yourself to be more like that of a child can be paradoxically empowering in a way that pushes back against the drudgery of modern adult life.
That said, childlike ≠ immature. You can still have a childlike sense of wonder about the world without having to act rude or disrespectful towards others.
Still though, it's sad that our culture has associated being rude and temperamental with acting like a child.

There are plenty of positive connotations to being childlike, we should use them more.
