Sustenance, the ability to feed oneself, is not unlike sustainability, the ability to reproduce oneself. The one is about production, the other about reproduction. The one is for the sake of the individual, the other for the sake of the collective.
Could it be the obesity of conservative Americans is a symptom of their cultural PTSD, as they relive their high-stress cultural environment even in the face of domestic tranquility and material abundance? Such a cultural pathology is a sign of the Godlessness of that people, irrespective of their protestations to being God-fearing.
These are symptoms of an inherent paganism that envisions godliness as dangerous to a society on the brink of extinction.
