In spite of all our intelligence...

Dear fellow travelers
Isn't it ironic that, although we claim to be the most intelligent species on our planet, we (and that includes me) still often do not realize that Junk food is NOT our Friend, in spite of its attractive outer skin, its "yummy in my tummy" attitude and sweetness on your tongue demeanor, while Sweat is NOT your Enemy, although our society will have us believe that is must be immediately done away with or masked, best never to be seen or even produced lest it might be discovered we are functioning human beings, keeping cool, rather than some "Nothing can make me sweat" creatures.
Why is it that we embrace and miss the one that might do us in, while we avoid and fear the other that keeps us cool? How intelligent is that?
I have been sweating over this question whilst clutching my chocolate bar, slowly melting in my hand:) Be well.

We're only the "most intelligent" because we've established a metric in our favor. Humans are a greatly flawed mammal!0
