<p>It really depends on what you want from life. If you value gadgets, convenience, going for an impromptu beer with friends on a thursday evening then it's a net negative. If you value peace, space, slowing down, nature then it's very nice. Less pollution, less noise, etc. I couldn't afford to buy a two bedrooms flat where I lived, now I own a 3 floor house, a garden big enough to feed my family and neighbours during peak season, life is good, can't complain</p>

<p>> You could move somewhere rural, lower expenses, but then you are socially isolated to an extent.<p>I got more social interactions the first week I moved to my house built in the middle of nowhere eastern europe than in my 10 years in a western EU capital. Small communities are much more alive than gigantic ones.
You do lose some convenience, but it's not as bad is it used to be, for exemple there is a 24/7 automated supermarket 10min from my middle of nowhere village, 5g everywhere, etc.</p>

<p>> In practice, GLP-1s are doing what a generation of preachers like you could not - making people more thin and healthier.<p>Alright, then let's continue making food worse and worse over the years, let's keep building a system that is less and less viable for humans. When we'll all be on GLP-1, + depression + ADHD drugs to just cope with days to day life maybe we'll finally wake up and ask ourselves how we ended in such a shit show.</p>

<p>> you can just<p>No you cannot "just" do things like that sadly... you still need water, as much as 10L/day/sqm during a heat wave. Also you need proper night/day temperature cycles, a reasonable early/late frost timing as to not kill your new plants, the soil has to match what you want to grow, etc. it's a whole dance between many many factors.<p>Flowers and pollen also get absolutely fucked by high heat, tomatoes stop growing when it's too warm. I know a farm where they lost most of their tomatoes, they cooked on the plant and fell to the ground.</p>

<p>Very very few people are in that category, and usually they have undiagnosed mental disorders. I don't even think it's possible to be leanish and have a BMI in the obese category from muscles without taking steroids or other products.</p>

<p>> You always end up with the people pushing these foods being those who sell them.<p>What do you mean by "these foods"? Just buy unprocessed food and 99% of the problems disappear. There is no fake, no people trying to sell you these out of malicious intent. Just buy local food people had access to in 1900 and you'll cure all your problems.</p>
