WE buy stuff that WE oursourced to Asia and then WE blame them for producing it. WE also set the standard of living that is unsustainable if everybody on Earth achieve it. What's your problem with the "we" word, again?

Same reason you try to save somebody who wants to jump from a bridge? Cost is marginal and potential benefit is huge. Additionally if it was optional people would forget to do it more often even if they don't consciously choose to risk

Might be as simple as cost/effect in resource-constrained environment. Inflamation uses up resources. When we were hunter-gatherers and had to survive ice ages - it wasn't a good idea to waste calories and vitamins just in case. B
