The article/comic strip makes it sound as if it was more healthy to have a job where you're standing all the time than a job where you're sitting all the time. But really all you're doing is trading one set of health problems (back) for a different one (legs, feet).
Comparing modern times with our hunter/gatherer past is particularly funny. Your typical hunter/gatherer's life expectancy was so short, there wasn't even a chance to develop the kind of health problems we're facing today.
I mean, I agree with the main message, but the presentation is very much hyperbolic.
