I do both. Doesn't everyone? I love a healthy home cooked meal, a book or article so deep it feels as satisfying as sex, but also can love a bag of french fries or a repeat of Pride & Prejudice or Hot Fuzz.
Sometimes it's relaxing to be shallow for a bit.
True, but you can taste the flavors in the fries and you should be consuming them consciously.
Some messages are really obvious and others are kinda subtle. I love Brooklyn 99, but I also acknowledge that it's copaganda and have to watch out that I'm not letting it influence me out of positions I came to by thinking things through. In the same way that when I eat a bag of fries I have to watch out that I'm not eating myself unhealthy.
When I consume something that's largely dumb fun, but has a pretty clear message I pick up the message. Fallout games (except 3) are openly telling you that the brotherhood of steel engage in dangerous ideological and organizational structures that lead to damage. But when my brain is off and I'm playing one of the games it just reads as "these guys have serious issues despite the good they sometimes do".
