Even a full Thanksgiving dinner only costs about 2 hours and 22 minutes of work. Indeed, the ‘problem’ is the opposite. An estimated 45 million people are trying hard to eat less and spend $33 billion annually on products to help them do so. To fully appreciate the material blessing of the holidays — access to food and good health care and the absence of widespread material privation and death — you have to throw yourself back in time.”
