Too fat

The Advertiser: One in four will be losing battle of the bulge by 2013 :

"The report also found obesity no longer was restricted to children or older generations and the 25 to 40 age bracket was also battling the bulge."

The report mentions lifestyle as a factor in this and considering the waist widening has been occurring more since 1991 then we need to look at how people are living. Telling them to fit exercise in when they are working long hours, when they are exhausted and when they have more than enough to do isn't going to work. They'll just keel over. We need to look at how we are living. A lot of people are no longer cooking for themselves, not growing their own food, not gardening and have so many gadgets for housework. Some people don't do their housework and gardening. Affluence means they engage others. Most jobs are far too sedentary and meeting rich because we have increased the number of office jobs. People are tied to computers, TVs , games machines. We have decreased our natural activity and add that to the placid diversions we have, it is a recipe for the widening waist. Not many kids can been seen running sorund and lots of hoe snow have no gardens. Back yard cricket has become a thing of the past. Healthy activity as part of a normal lifestyle is gone. We need to look at how we are working and living and change our approach. There are too many cars for us to bike ride safely and most people overuse their cars because walking isn't particularly safe. We have become sitters. That builds fat.
