We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for milk past infancy. It's all culture and marketing.
Just because we do those things you mentioned doesn't mean they're necessary. In fact, I assure you, neither clothes nor cooking are strictly necessary for an individual's survival. They're convenient and comfortable, but not physiologically necessary. Obviously we'd freeze in cold climates, but there are plenty of places on earth we could survive well enough without.
We do need vitamin D to survive, but you can literally just get it directly from sunlight. The more time you spend inside, and the more thoroughly you clothe yourself, the more likely you are to need to supplement it. Simple as. You only need 30m outside 3x a week (2hrs in winter regions).
Another funny thing about milk, is that all the natural vitamin A and D is removed in processing. They literally have to re-fortify it again, so the only reason it's billed as this "healthy" thing is because it's basically a lab-made liquid vitamin.
We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for chocolate. It's all culture and marketing.
We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for coffee. It's all culture and marketing.
We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for beer. It's all culture and marketing.
You can apply that to virtually anything we consume that isn't plants or meat.
We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for Lemmy. It’s all tankies and linux users.
Hey now! I'll have you know that only about a third of my computers run Linux right now
Yes, exactly, now you're getting it! Glad we agree. The entire argument being made here is a purely normative one, not of necessity.
Why are you looking through 7 month old posts for stuff to get mad about? Get a life bruh.
