Ego has been mentioned. Sunk cost fallacy plays a part. Combine those and people tend to over value the effort they've made to form their opinion, either through some form of information consumption or synthesis of known ideas/held opinions, while devaluing/doubting the existence other people's previous efforts. So, you often end up with two people who both think they're informed and assume the other person is just making up an opinion right now and failing to see their valuable insight.

I'm used to a drier climate. When I've visited some places that are more humid, I've been surprised how much more I can smell everything. Every person. Every place. Around corners. What's on the ground. Everything.

I do wear a scented antiperspirant because I like how it smells, it doesn't react badly with me and I don't wear a lot of other scents. But yeah, some places require more than that even.

Hot is still relative. Are you talking about soup, a cup of coffee/tea or outside temperature? People would probably answer differently in each instance.

Definitely. Decomposed granite (that orange gravelly stuff) or dirt is much better for your joints and shins than running on cement.

More importantly though, how much is enough?

Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?

Also, now you're dead/burned out/need a vacation or are generally in a bad state. Don't give 100% of yourself to increase someone else's profits, your bosses raises/bonuses or even if you're self-employed. Keep some for yourself so you can use that to regenerate and come back another day.

Asking someone to give all of themselves for another's needs is abuse and shouldn't be normalized.

The problem is waking up. Sleeping would be great if it would just keep going.

Blend some (1/4 cup or so) oatmeal into a powder. Put in 1-2 TBS peanut butter. Then add milk/yogurt/fruit/a little vanilla/some honey whatever you want. You can make your own liquid meal replacement without all the processing in commercial options, for less money and it'll be fresh.

If you want something fast but it doesn't have to be drinkable, mix 2-4 TBS peanut butter and 1/2 cup or so of oatmeal in a little bowl. Microwave for like 30 seconds to a minute or so. Add a couple TBS of juice or a small handful of chocolate chips. You've now got a basic "energy bar" that can be eaten with a spoon. Can also function as a light desert or sweet, healthy snack.

I think stuff that's churned out in huge quantities, packaged in plastic, shipped around and designed to be shelf stable is questionable at best. If microbes won't even digest it (which would make it go bad) how digestible is it for people?

Oatmeal and peanut (or other nut) butter is real food and it only takes a minute or two to mix up something basically the same as one of those replacement options, but made fresh. For my basic vitamins daily, I'll have a bowl of plain cheerios (somewhat processed but better than a pressed vitamin) and some fruit. Maybe some greens here and there. (I'll also try to hide some marmite in something, to up my B12 as I eat very little meat or dairy.)

All of these options are super cheap.
