(ok little threadjack - if you try to view the poll before you vote, the names of who voted for what appears below the choice....weird! /threadjack)
I think there should be more options on the poll.
One important one for me would be:
Maybe there is too much variety of everything these days and it's hard to switch off
One of the choices, the stress one, hints at something but not quite - we haven't got enough time to sit down properly for a meal a lot of the time, or to cook one. We work longer hours and have less time to do things at a more relaxed pace. Consequently we cook healthy food less, there is way too much take-out, and we don't even have time to eat slowly so our brains know we're full.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
