    I have six backyard chickens. All their lives they were on organic feed that has no molasses. To save money I switched to a cheaper feed and you can smell the molasses. When I made the switch one chicken became afraid and wouldnt leave the nest box, it became fearful of me. I switched back to organic feed and the next day it came out of the nest box and started following me around again, totally changed it's behavior for the better. Now one week later its behavior continues to improve.

    Pleasure is addictive but happiness is not. Pleasure can be bought and happiness is not. Pleasure is individual while happiness is social.Pleassure is serotonin mediated while pleasure is dopamine receptors involved.Very good lessons.

    THIS GUY! Dr. Lustig has been a hero of mine for years because he provided me with the knowledge that led to a paradigm shift that protects me from the pro-profit, manipulative tactics that were influencing my choices, behaviors, and interactions with others. You simply can't unsee the truth, and to quote David Allen Thoreau "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

    Please pray for me for healing in my brain snd all body systems and severe depression because of neuroendocrine problems and GI and inability to have any joy at all. I’ve lost everything because of this. I have severe pain and very strange and extremely uncomfortable symptoms that never end. I can’t eat or eliminate normal bowel movements etc, severe autonomic and autoimmune dysfunction. I can’t sweat, my skin feels different from the inside, everything is different and my brain is in complete darkness. I cannot sleep because of something wrong in my brain and nothing has helped. I haven’t slept for a year, I have aged so much and my skin and body looks like an old lady I need a miracle. I’m only 39, I wasn’t ready to die yet and living this way is actually not life either.

    The idea is that when the price of fastfood /soda is increased , the consumption level is maintained . When the price of foods that aid serotonin production is increased , consumption levels decrease . Therefore , the short term pleasure affect of sugar foods , is what consumers pay more money for.We will not pay more for the long term happiness Whole Foods bring us . This shows the relationship between "money expenditure and pleasure" , as opposed to "money expenditure and happiness ". Pleasures can be acquired quickly with money , but long term happiness cannot.

    Elasticity works both ways. For example, the price of salt is inelastic. If salt price goes down, people don't buy more; they buy the same amount. If the price goes up, people don't buy less; they buy the same amount. That's one reason you rarely see salt on sale.
