Yes! As long as we don't confuse "Standard of Living" with "Quality of Life " - all the money in the world won't help with the results of eating a bad diet, all too often. For example, what's up with the overeating that results in obesity, diabetes and heart disease (all of which correlate with later cognitive decline) - then we need to inject peptides for curbing appetite? Sure, huge industry, big profits, trillion dollar stock valuations - big Standard of Living! But it's kind of "bass ackwards" - simply improving dietary habits could save us all a boatload of money and prevent completely avoidable lifestyle diseases. Sorry if this is "doomer" stuff - but there's an easy way out, and it can be fun, and good for the wallet.
