Only if we think of it on a personal scale what we eat determines how much energy we will have during the day and not only the quantity but the quality of this energy. I think this carelessness happens for a very simple reason, that in 21st-century food is so easily available (especially for people living in the western society) that you can find something to eat wherever you are and whatever you do.
