Hmm. I did a better job of feeding myself when I didn't have 24/7 kitchen access. Now I live in a house and don't prepare food enough. If I bring water I don't drink it and if I camel up I stay hydrated.

It's probably because either humans have always been dehydrated, being thirsty in the wild is a great reminder or our contemporary foods don't have enough moisture. Probably the latter.

Over salty food has numbed our sense of dehydration. We’re almost always dehydrated all day long, so we can’t notice when it gets worse.

I don't agree with the premise. Going to school in Australia we were continually reminded to drink water. It's not anything technological it's just poor awareness of hydratation by US elementary school teachers

I understood that mild thirst and mild hunger are similar enough that many people just eat instead of drink. Also, dry heat fails to trigger that disgusting sweatiness, which is a much more obvious sign that you're hot.
