Fair question. I did anticipate it, as my argument wasn't watertight.

I mean to say that the sheer variety aggravates our boundless appetites, which are difficult to restrain as-is. Couple that with the unhealthy eating habits our modern age "encourages" (I put it in air quotes because we have personal agency to push back). And we can see where this is going. The details are very much debatable, but the broader point stands.
