They eat lunch in a grassy field, then when they&amp;#x27;re done, they pack up their basket and blanket, leaving the beer cans, food wrappers, empty bottles, plastic cutlery, and chicken bones scattered on the grass.&lt;p&gt;That scene shocked and horrified me more than all the sexism, racism, and homophobia combined.&lt;p&gt;Edit: saw the other comments, looks like I wasn&amp;#x27;t the only one affected by that scene.</text></comment>
