[QUOTE="Heap Thaumaturgist, post: 301378, member: 4516"] Not only does nobody take the stairs, but you can't FIND the stairs ... stairs are usually relegated to fire escapes behind doors. Ugly, starkly lit, functional appliances to be used in case the building is burning down around your ears. An effect of buildings being too tall ... even healthy, fit, thin people probably don't want to jog up twenty flights of steps every morning to get to work ... and go to lunch ... and come back from lunch ... and go home again. I like older buildings with decorative staircases ... being a lazy fat wad, though, I take the elevator. *shrug* Food. Sedentary living. I know what it is. It's actually sort of nauseating how lazy I really am, when I think about it. When I diet, exercise ... I tone up and trim down faster than anybody I've met. But I do so many sedentary things, I just don't find the time for active movement very often. And food is always ... there. I grew up with it. It's how I was raised ... "Here, have something to eat." "Would you like some pie." "Clean your plate." My parents cook and eat like everybody works the coal mines for 10 hours a day. But we all sit on our duffs ... high-fat, massive carb-loaded side dishes, bacon ... So we have to work on it. Sociocultural conditioning predisposes us to being lardballs. Then again, there are high-intensity americans that work harder and play harder than anybody you'll meet. I hate those people. :rolleyes: --HT [/QUOTE]
