I guess you want to suggest that it is *natural* for people to want to
consume. Consider though that there are many traditional cultures
where this consumption urge is much more restrained.
Of course you can "explain" that away as a result of genetic
differences between cultures (maybe the elusive IQ gene?). But then
you'd merely be circularly reinforcing your own ideological
preferences.
