You've hit the nail on the head. People eating and drinking the wrong things, and not getting proper exercise has ranked the U.S. up there as one of the fattests countries in the world. I'm no expert in nutrition or physiology, but I believe that people get sedentary in their life, they come home after work . . . .exhausted, . . . . grow in physical girth, and wonder why they can't fit in the clothes they have in their closet anymore. Then they may use the excuse, "Well, I really need to exercise, but I just can't seem to find the time to do it, and when I do, I'm just too tired."
Yes, comforts have come a long way. You don't even have to shut the sliding side door yourself on some newer minivans. How many fad crap diets do you see on TV that say you can loose weight with no effort, without breaking a sweat, or even while sleeping?
Good post!
PS Sweating is a good thing!
