Information Obesity

Another thing that differentiates humans from primates is the time we spend...chewing. Cooking allows us to save the chewing time, but we spend it cooking, absorbing more nutrients as a result and growing bigger brains... at least according to the book by primatologist Richard Wrangham re his theory that fire and cooking made humans human.

Accordingly, the "mastication" of more information must be having similar effects on the brain, with the risk of become "obese".
