- TeMPOraL 11y agoTell that to me when I'm eating to reduce stress caused by work I have to do that I can't make myself to. Like all habits developed over millenia, just because something worked back then, doesn't mean it makes sense now. We had our cost/benefit evaluation slowly tuned to the environment that rapidly (i.e. over last few thousand of years) ceased to exist. A lot of problems we have with each other can be explained in terms of executing adaptations we had from the time where survival involved hunting, and not filling out forms. Not saying that normal eating is obsolete - just that arguments from nature tend not to be too strong in general case.
- hellbanner 11y agoGood point. I meant eating as in consumption (soylent or not) when comparing to HN but I see what you mean.
