I agree with all that, except for food and booze part. 
We need quality food to be healthy and live longer. 
Most of fancy foods have good quality ingredients, but good food doesn't have to be fancy and you can get it for cheap in most countries.
Gastronomic plate may not worth it for the calories/price but you're sure to discover flavors you can't even imagine, and the same goes for alcohol, and if it's combined with food the feeling is priceless
