What do you do when they either say no or they just take the drugs for a while and then they're like, meh, I don't wanna do this anymore. And they stop taking the drugs and they go back to their ways. That's a tough problem. And again, usually we're taught to look through a social lens, like what are the societal factors causing people to have gambling addiction?

The reality is it seems to be a human and animal universal that some fraction of people are just going to be addicted to almost anything that you can expose them to that does dopamine hits. That's tough. And that requires a much more thoughtful, nuanced approach. assisted approach and the old finger wagon and making stuff outright illegal, that's probably not the right answer. I wish it was.

I think that's excellent advice, but because somebody already gave it, I'll give a slightly different piece of advice. I think something that I've kind of been getting to lately is the idea of treating your meals and separating them into two different categories, what I like to call business meals and then fun meals.

Business meals mean that you're eating them for the purpose of fueling your body for what it needs, like as an organism. And that means that business meals aren't really designed with taste and texture and maximizing the pleasure value of food as a first principle, like this is top priority. They're designed with things like, is there enough protein in this meal of high quality?

Am I getting enough greens and combination of greens and veggies and vegetables? fruits and whole grains, other healthy fats in this meal. Is the portion size of this meal enough to squash my hunger, but not enough to stuff me? Am I eating any more of this meal than I should be because I'm already stuffed? But damn, these, you know, mac and cheese tastes so good. I have to have a few more bites.
