>>171149 In terms of milk, the "not meant to" argument refers to the difficulty our digestive systems have in processing it. It's a biological, not philosophical issue.
We may not be bred for our technological lives either. Sitting in front of a computer all day, driving instead of walking, all of these things lead to increased health problems. We have to supplement with essentially "fake" exercise like running on a treadmill or lifting weights rather than doing manual labor.
Our fast-paced, overworked lives also contribute to stress-related deaths like strokes, heart attacks, and some digestive conditions (which are exacerbated by stress).
So, no, I don't think we were "meant to" do any of those things you listed. Our physical evolution has not kept pace with our societal/technological evolution. I'm not saying it's unworkable, it's just not what we were born for.
