Did I say that was the only reason? No, I said we'd simply have more time for them both. Exercising takes time. Cooking healthy meals takes time. When I worked full time, went to school full time and had a family to care for, exercise and long cooked meals were simply not possible. Exercise is more possible now that I've finished school but now my wife and I have opposing shifts which throws the healthy meal. And there are millions of other families just like mine. Again, it's not the only reason people don't exercise or eat healthier but it damn sure doesn't help it. We've also built our society around the car. Walk to work, school, damn near anything? Yeah right. |
Guilty. When I still worked for a software company I would often not go home until after 7 pm if not later, result pick up a burger on the way or order a pizza. Sit all day behind a PC, eat fast food on the way home to still have some time left of your free time. So depressing from fall to spring. Go to work in the dark, come home in the dark, who wants to exercise in the dark. I turned my unhealthy life around by quitting that job. Most don't have that luxury.
Luckily in summer I could cycle to work which kept me relatively healthy, yet I'm so much more fit today than when working behind computers all day.
