Money spent on food is the most unselfish (unless you are eating alone in expensive places).

Often, I see it as money wasted. "I should've eaten out less this quarter." And not saying this isn't true. I think many people can avoid eating out so much.

But all the other money I spend is on myself. Only if you truly care about (or want to care about) the people you're eating with, would you pay for an overpriced meal and forgo your dining hall meal.

Or you could be really rich and hate dining food. Both sides I guess.

Whole selfish/unselfish thing makes me think of the Good Will Hunting quote.

"You don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you dared to love anybody that much."
