The Inputs of Your Food, Determining the Output of Your Life

I think there is something to it based from my experience. Once you get into that mentality of just, I'm going to eat something and it's going to make me happy right now, then you start prioritizing pleasure over happiness. This is how people fall off the rails and destroy their lives. You can think about it as the difference between just wanting to take a hit from a drug versus focusing on your long term career. The joy that is going to come to you from sticking to your job and ten years of saving and having all that long term focus, starting a family and building a family, it all sounds nice in theory, but the heroin is nice now.
