Also, "survival of the fittest" is not only an oversimplification of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, but it's also inaccurate, even as a simplification (and "the weak die, the strong survive" is even worse). "Survival and reproduction of the fit enough" is the simplest way to put it before falling into oversimplification, and since evolution is the change in populations of organisms over generations, the reproduction part absolutely cannot be left out as it is the process that drives evolution. As to the second part, an organism does not need to be the fittest to its environment to survive and thrive, it only needs to be fit enough to live long enough to pass on its genes to the next generation. Take us, humans, for example. While eating meat can cause various health problems— or processed food in general for that matter—, but we never adapted to prevent them as they usually develop passed the age of peak sexual activity and therefore, have a negligible effect on our ability to reproduce.
