I think the history books will look back at this period of our evolving civilization as one filled with bizarre contradictions, one that was exacerbated by the physiological proclivities of our bodies to eat everything in sight. Evolution had wisely designed us to gorge at every single opportunity presented to us because famine was always just around the corner. But once it became obvious that mealtimes would arrive on the dinner table regularly it pretty much shot such an incredibly successful evolutionary blue print to hell. Our civilization, fraught by the pitfalls of economic models that are primarily designed around the principal that making money is the only way to survive have yet to figure out how to stay alive while not killing the very "prey" it's trying to feed off of. Obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and a slurry of other physical maladies is the price we are currently paying for our civilization that has become too successful. C'mon! Admit it!
