On one hand, it's a good thing that we live in a post-scarcity society at least where food is concerned. Problem is we here in North America eat a shitty diet that's high in starch and empty calories. This is a society views cake with less sugar (muffins) as a health food.
Aggravating the problem is a sedentary lifestyle. That and this retarded "body acceptance" movement that wants to make fat the new ideal, or some BS.
Also the lack of some good solid genetic engineering to get us nice and adapted to post-scarcity.
These ancient genes still think that death by starvation is always a day away, so they work hard to ensure that precious food reserves are stored whenever possible, and unused energy-hungry muscles atrophy quickly.
Of course, our instincts would almost certainly prevent us from using such capabilities responsibly.
"Wonderful, another tool I can use to dominate other people!"
Maybe work engineering a solution to
that problem, too.
And the issue of the biological tendency toward unsustainably prolific population growth.
(Life on this planet has a lot of bugs to work out.)
In lieu of that pleasant future, maybe a pill that reduces the feeling of hunger itself, without resorting to grotesque things like having to eat vegetables? Or good flavor packets for Soylent, assuming it ever gets cheap.
