EY's little more reasonable answer makes a little sense. Your subjective point of view makes even more sense.
I guess it's stupid (and maybe wrong/ugly/cruel) of me to think along the lines of the OP, but I wonder about people who claim great rational abilities and aren't in very good shape. As you state, value systems vary, so maybe people have done the math and decided fitness isn't worth the effort... but it still makes me wonder.
As I said, it's not necessarily a rationality failure, but often it is.
