Welcome To The Modern Workplace!

IIRC about 1/4 of our daily calories (so, about 500 to 800 calories a day) goes to fueling our brains. I remember reading on a book on human evolution that our brain's blood circulation is specially adapted to getting rid of all the heat generated by the brain's metabolism, an adaptation not found in chimps and gorillas.
