    I use the example in the meme a lot. As adults we’re in a post-scarcity mindset. If you tell a kid you can eat chocolate ice cream for 3 meals a day and don’t do it because you don’t want to (because you know you shouldn’t), it would blow their minds. You’re growing up when you get access to things and stop thinking “if you can” and start thinking “if you should”.

      for me it’s not that i think that i shouldn’t, but i can’t. i just cannot ingest that much sugar at once, i get really bad feelings from that!
