I agree with Jasmine 🙂

What occurred to me was that we could change the topic of sex to food and have similar problems and arguments. How can anyone stay lean and healthy in a society where there is such easy access to fast food? What about the consequences to relationships? Is it appropriate for someone in a relationship to eat a lot when they feel stressed out or emotionally neglected, and as a result gain weight and place their health in jeopardy?

It’s natural to seek blame elsewhere when something hurts, but aren’t we all still responsible for ourselves and our own happiness (and health)? Ultimately being lazy and greedy and overindulging oneself does not bring happiness (quite the opposite) and people will find that out for themselves sooner or later. We could try to forcefully prevent them from finding that out for themselves, but our desire for freedom is so great that we would gradually go back to a situation where people want to be free to self-destruct, if they so wish.

I bet people haven’t fundamentally changed. If someone would’ve offered a human living in the Paleolithic era the chance to sit inside, eat burgers and fries and watch porn, they would’ve taken that chance. We evolve constantly and so do the problems that we face, and we will adapt and find solutions for those problems, until we yet again face other types of problems. People probably will want to have simpler lives in the future, but it will take us time to get to that stage, and when we finally arrive, we’ll have whole new problems to deal with.
