People have forgotten their spiritual connection. Arrogance that the human race has figured everything out through science.

I think there's a lot more to this than meets the eye.

There are people that would have you eat lab grown meat or drink supplements rather than get nutrition from natural sources. The body may meet some physical need, but the mind is not satisfied with mere sustenance. That's not even taking into account the variety of interconnected things like, chewing your food, seeing something appealing to eat, etc. There are so many unintended consequences of living a jaded life...

I think humans are being deprived of what it means to be alive in the pursuit of longer/safer lives.
