Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zigmutt" data-source="post: 301448" data-attributes="member: 1629">just echoing what has already been said:1) the world is shifting from a labor market to a service market.  And (sorry if i offend anyone) this is where Geeks are making their money.  technology and science favor thjose that think and find other ways of doing things- easier waysof doing things- ways that makes people's lives easier.  These little services cause a snowball effect- where you stop doing the little things like getting up to turn the channel to taking the stairs- and then you eventually become a society that is reliant on these things- 2) to go a little further- people dont even clean their houses anymore. they just pay 100 dollars and have a maid come in and clean the entire place.  Baby sitters to take care of their kids- shops to change their oil and tires. I know it sounds like i am talking out of my arse- but if you think about it- all these things used to be done by hand- yourself- and every little bit of energy you expend is the energy taken away from being converted into fat cells.  3) the food- let's face it - fast food and frozen foods are the largest food sectors in America.  Whether you admit it or not- we eat fast fod and frozen foods more than any other kind of food.  And then there are processed foods that have so much sodium that... i cant think of an analogy- but fast food is a growing commodity for this hectic, fast paced world that we call life.  4) lack of exercise- the only people I see exercising now a days are superfit model type people that are already fit.  it's like the chickena nd egg question- do people exercise to get fit, or do they get fit to exercise.  i dont know if that makes sense, but it's like  adrug (I am 6' - 180 lb- and i stopped exercising a while back when i got into college and started the techie phase- now that i graduated, i have taken up exercising again and i cant stop...) and you never see fat people running- is it cause they dont want to ? or are they fat and cant? and are fat cause thy dont run? or they dont run cause they are fat?  i have been asking this for a while- and if you tink about it- it's both ways.  both are factors... and i am rambling-1)society2)commodities3)food4)lack of exercise</blockquote>
