I am very sorry if I could not frame my comment better.

What I didn't write explicitly, but vainly assumed that people will read between the lines.

The people I describe also suffer from SLS exactly because what you say.

Their lives are full of bad practices like alcoholism, not seeking medical health, choosing cheap and unhealthy choices whenever possible. Because of the weight.

You described it well. I assumed that people will get it- SLS is a result of helplessness at the extremes.

Another commenter wrote about the role of religion. I also think it plays a somewhat positive role.

At least in my state, days of Brahminical oppression are over. And the role of religion and social rules are positives.
