By the seesaw mechanism, with the electroweak scale being the geometric average (the center of the seesaw), the theory produces another, very low-energy scale slightly below 1 eV which is indeed (the right order of magnitude for) the typical mass scale of the observed neutrino masses (known from the oscillation experiments: at least the mass differences seem to be that big).

For example, given all the chemical binding energies of bones, tissues, genes, etc. that are on the order of 1 eV, we still have nervous systems with activation energies on the order of 0.070 eV.
