But definitely agree on the "generational" thing ... I still behave responsibly when it comes to spending. I shop for "specials", make good use of my freezer, try not to waste food, and avoid the "never never" (I think my grandad used to call it that.) This leads me to think that the type of education you are talking about has to be learned in the home. I guess I'm not that much use to a hot consumer economy ... I still think of a plate as something off which I eat food, and not as something to enhance the ambiance of my kitchen.
