I agree. I think that there are some things that were better in the past - mostly the defaults we had set in diets, exercise, and social interaction. Since we now have the option to be sedentary, eat processed food, and stay isolated, this can lead to a great deal of unnecessary unhappiness unless you make a conscious choice to do otherwise. And this choice can feel difficult to make, because so many other people have normalized an unhealthy way of life. But still, it is a choice, and any individual can choose to live differently if they want to.
