I agree with your observations since the purpose of learning is to ensure an individual acquires the requisite knowledge and analytical skills t enable them to solve daily problems. Americans are among the most knowledgeable beings on the planet. Still, it beats my understanding of the sheer ignorance we have on what we consume and only become critical when it is too late for our health. For example, what would have happened if we headed to the health experts’ directions concerning the Covid19 control measure at the beginning of 2020? Could it have struck us the way it did? Absolutely no.

Indeed, that part of the argument also stood out for me. I mean, the irony in it is that even though the government puts in so much effort to ensure we consume food that meets quality standards and is also healthy and nutritious. However, as Americans, we will always find our poison by consuming substandard food and junk, irrespective of all these. Does this mean that we place so much effort on short-term pleasure over long-term safety and health as humans?
