You are what you eat, so eat something that you love.
Seriously, I believe most socialized adults are self-actualized but choose not to act on logic for emotional reasons. From politics to eating, we are constantly making choices. We often repeat choices that we know are not in our best interest.
It can be viewed as a study in cardinal utility. The total experience of that first beer just after cutting the grass is at times so gratifying. The second may be great, the third OK, then it becomes sort of mindless repetition. You may have initiated a behavior for a specific reaction, but keep hitting the redo button. I think we have a need to not analyze so much and we respond with mindless actions. But I also think we need to reinforce the good habits of discipline so we incorporate positive decisions in our automated state.
We usually know instinctively what we should do, but having the discipline to act responsibly is difficult by nature.
