Meaning/goal of life is to reproduce. Food (and everything else) is only a means to it. Reproduction is the only root goal given by nature to any life form. All resources and qualities are provided are only to help mating.

- darepublic 7mo agoThe western lifestyle is an evolutionary dead end?
- vixen99 7mo agoIt seems that some in the West want it to be and are working hard to make it so.
- michaelhoney 7mo agonot just western countries
- tantalor 7mo agoReproduction is the goal of genes. Food (not dying) is the goal of organisms.
- philote 7mo agoI'd argue genes nor life has a "goal". They are what they are because they've been successful at continuing their existence. Would you say a rock's goal is not to get broken?
- tantalor 7mo agoOnly because genes/organisms can make choices (changes to its programming, or decisions) to optimize their path towards their goal. A rock is maybe not a good counterexample, but a crystal is because it can grow over time. So in some sense, it tries not to break. However a crystal cannot make any choices; it's behavior is locked into the chemistry it starts with.
- hca 7mo agoNo, evolution has encoded lust. It has not yet allowed for condoms. But it's a process.
- inanutshellus 7mo agoI don't get why anyone downvoted you but maybe we can "all get along" by saying: "the meaning of life is to continue living." Thus the short-term answer is "food" and "reproduction" is the long-term answer.
