My grandparents had an icebox, with a regular ice delivery, things are still the same the delivery is now different as it comes through a wall socket now. If you think you can get by without a refrigerator then unplug it and eat the food a week from now, it is more than just a luxory there are some health benefits to that appliance as well and in this day and age it is more of a necessity. I dont disagree with your assesment that more is pushed on us now but life is better as well.

Hundreds of North Americans dont dies every day becuase we cant afford mosquito nets to protect us from maleria.
