Just remember that being an adult is just as much about not doing things that you could do. If you just do everything because you can and it provides gratification, then you are likely still an adolescent.

And this is for things that don't have negative externalities such as the environmental damage, animal cruelty and health downsides of eating steak every day.

> environmental damage

That's what the price tag is for.

> animal cruelty

Depends on how do you compare it with not being born at all.

> health downsides of eating steak every day

That differs from person to person, each with his specific problems and issues — and my neurosurgeon actually have recommended me to eat more red meat. It would also be very healthy for me if I could gain some weight.

The negative externalities of beef are not priced in, as with most environmental costs.
