>>118280346This is the foundational lie of Capitalism.
There is basically no competition for most resources.
Their supply is artificially shortened and monopolized in order to maximize profit.
Agriculture and industrial production are fully capable of satisfying humanity's needs, have been for a long time.
Only the greed of the powerful keeps billions in abject poverty.
>>118280470You are misunderstanding me.
I'm not saying he should be able to eat garbage whenever and be supported in his folly.
I'm saying your marriage isn't going so hot if your spouse has to forbid you from eating garbage because you are a child who cannot comprehend that actions have consequences and a donut burger breakfast is a fast lane to diabetes.
And his wife accordingly treats him as a child that has to be commanded around in order to not hurt himself.
That's not a good, even partnership. That's an overbearing mother-figure and a man-child.
They should be able to calmly communicate their interests and aims here and should be able to find something that works for them.
Obviously the easiest thing is to not eat hot, sugary garbage, but if his heart really hangs on it for some reason, there could probably be a regimen of sports and food where he can squeeze one of those in there without getting fat and dying at 55 if he wants to.
I mean, I know a guy who eats basically one big meal a day and nothing else.
Don't ask me why he likes to do that, but he spends a lot of time preparing these elaborate dishes for himself and then stuffs his guts precisely once a day.
And that's okay. He very keenly monitors his caloric intake, works out and has his own business. That's personal freedom.
I wouldn't wanna do that, but I don't have to.
