We lived happier (if not easier) lives before we begrudgingly adopted stationary agriculture as a response to unpredictable climates following the ice age.

AND when you get your population hooked on grains you can instill a culture of weaning children earlier using oatmeal, meaning women can have babies more frequently (no longer lactating). The increase in population serves those in power by making their armies bigger and creating an impressionable population that you can further suppress with religion, etc.
