Why is it that we want to eat more in the winter? I mean, I get it. It's cold, we need to store up our energy for hibernating and staying warm and stuff.
But, come on... we're not bears. We are "civilized" beings. We've been far from being at all "animal like" for a long time. The more advanced and overly civilized we become, the farther away we are from being like bears or even like our old caveman ancestors.
It's funny too, because people always want to point out the fact that we are animals when it benefits them in some way. Like, accounting for or justifying some animalistic behavior like eating a whole pizza or having sex with 5 dudes in one night. People are all like "Oh yeah, well we're all animals and eating and sex are our basic survival needs. Those needs need to met, I need to spread my seed, blah blah blah....".
Seriously? Now you want to be an animal after you worked out on a machine for 3 hours, got your eyebrows waxed and watched people moving around on a giant screen for 2 hours. You probably don't even have a pet!
As soon as the human race does something amazing like invent penicillin, send a man to the moon, or have a conversation to solve a problem rather than ripping heads off with giant paws, people want to say how smart and civilized we are.
It just seems very fickle of us all. But maybe we are not civilized enough to realize it.
So, maybe we can be both- animalistic and civilized. I guess we don't have to choose.
So for now, I will continue to eat giant burritos and drink beer all winter while blaming it on the bears.
