In our age one is not allowed to talk about gluttony.

It is the primary vehicle by which many sustain an otherwise meaningless existence

What measures "healthy"?

Most "healthy" individuals indulge in addiction: television, food, news.

What do the parents hope for the kid's future? What makes a good life? Why is it bad that someone spends 9+ hours a day on the computer when that's the standard for all software engineers?

What do they hope to accomplish by restricting internet time? What does the kid want for the future?

You can't expect others to hand on a silver platter the reasons for you and your progeny's existence!

Every reason you've listed is either wrong or avoidable.

Deep down, you don't want children. If you figure out the reason why and cut through your social-programming, then you'll have them.

Otherwise, thanks for playing!

The standard western diet:

Grains & pasta (bad) - Meat (bad) - Cheese (bad) - Sugar sugar sugar (bad) - processed foods (bad)

Basically everything in "cultural" cuisine slowly kills you. Point out anything as a general concept of a "meal" and you'll find that, yes, that meal is bad for you. Not surprising most people are fat

Look, web development is complicated, full of dependencies, 1000s of packages.

Not anymore. Not today. No more! – just add this dependency to the top of your file

On a serious note, I would be curious of a comparison of this and other js 'mini' frameworks.

Congrats on delivering OP!

- You can't determine what is a 'good life' for an animal. Scratch that, for someone else in general. It is incumbent upon the other to express what is good for them. You cannot determine, but you can deduce, yet there is little deduction to be had while the subject is incarcerated (limited options, how can you know this is what is wanted if the other options, i.e. free living, are not available?)

- You cannot say it is 'mutually beneficial' the same way you cannot determine what is 'good' for the animal. Most animals never have a choice or a way to express

Do whatever you want, but I hope no one pretends for a second they're 'doing good' beyond themselves for eating plants or animals. You are only 'being good' towards oneself in the form of sustaining your life, if that is your objective, your good. Some choose a noose instead

You don't need a pat on the back to sustain your life, nor this strange delusion that you're somehow making the world a better place by denying life to another thing, or deciding a life for another thing, unless you want to exercise a narcissism unparalleled
