Fitness-Life-Diet

The changes in our life style during the later part of the 1960's has a lot to do with the obesity problem that we are facing in America today and the low quality of our Fitness, Life and diet.  The distance between ones' home and workplace changed.  People who previously resided within walking or public transportation from the work place were relocating to the suburbs.  Walking became out of style.  Suburbia became the haven for malls and the local merchants were pushed to moving to the malls or going out of business.  The automobile which was once a luxury was now a necessity.

People no longer walked to work or to the train or bus to transport them there.  Escalators and elevators are available every where so the stairs are unused.  Fast Foods, large portions of foods in restaurant servings,  heavily refined foods, delivery service, preservatives and additives in grocery items, internet shopping and  computer games have all contributed to the lack of fitness and high fat diet and life styles in America.
