I think you are correct, but I’m not sure if it’s a real “want” or a mere modality that is an expression of foolish contemporary social values combined with marketing combined with the notion that this is really living the good life. I cannot tell you how strongly convinced I am of how tastes are manufactured by prevailing attitudes and the need for approval and a limited selection on the table.

How many little boys in my neighborhood swear they want to grow up to be a pro football player, but this is the main activity they see gaining adult approval in the cafe. I wanted to be either an orchestra conductor or a luthier based upon two experiential impressions that aesthetically influenced me.
