The food supply is essentially infinite in cultures where obesity is a problem; wealth is essentially infinite for those who cannot spend it all in their lifetime; and time is infinite for those who waste it.  Increasing food, wealth, or time in those situations is meaningless.  Some scoff at primitive numbering systems that quickly reach infinity rather than using large numbers, but that can actually be a very effective way of thinking about  quantities larger than what is meaningful.
