Things that are of little value, including the vulgar and dumb. Anything that isn't seen as adding positively to our lives, be it nutritionally or in the sense of the artistic soul. You've grasped my thoughts on it: once we understand that something is pure poo, we can address it by doing things to manage the negative effects. So, eat Velveeta for one meal, eat wild greens the next and maybe walk the dog longer than usual. Plus, I think it's good to recognize these things so that one can manage one's own patterns of consumption, ones which may develop if we continue to only go with things we like because they are immediately pleasurable in a low value way.
