And that may seem shocking to a lot of people, but the fact is that the food in the supermarket is super safe relative to where our ancestors were freaking out, etc. You don't have to fight for the food. There is no bacteria or parasites in your food. You know, it's warm, etc.,

So the food in the five-star Michelin restaurant, the biggest difference is not the number of calories, whether it's safe, et cetera. In terms of fitness effect, it's not going to be very different.

While you can't, you know, increase all this stuff about the comfort of your life, you have a roof over your head, you have food, you have water, et cetera, status can keep increasing.
