Can I Get a Two-Thumbs Up for a Fatter America?

Look to your left and your right. Everywhere you will see things which make the American’s life easier. Let’s send emails instead of going to the post office and mailing off letters. Let’s ride in vehicles instead of walking or riding our bikes to work. Our hours are crammed with more shit than a compost factory, and for what? What are you getting accomplished this year that you weren’t getting accomplished back in the olden days? Unfortunately, I was not old enough back when times were simpler, but I often like to muse about how I would handle things differently. Don’t we all?

As someone who is desperately trying to get back to a healthy weight by walking 6-7 miles a week, I know the value of actually being active. If nothing else, it makes you feel better. The frontal lobe is more active in those who exercise. It doesn’t have to be a cataclysmic change, you know. Just start with something easy. Walk a few blocks and come back.

Remember: only you can prevent fat people.
