2That 10 hours. Ain't nobody got time for that in this economy
- people who need low impact exercises and can't afford a gym membership or equipment
- people who are just wary because of healthcare costs from injuries (I don't bike anymore because I don't have health insurance and I'm not gonna pay $1200/mo for a $15,000 deductible)
- if you're going to exercise that much, you need to change your diet and people can't afford meals that aren't ultra-processed plus they literally do not know how to cook at all because we just don't teach people that skill anymore
- people with multiple jobs or multi-hour commutes. They're already exhausted and depressed and changing their diet would help with this but as I just mentioned...
it's a goddamn mess
and then you have people like my mom who have the worst lifestyle and diets on the planet for their entire lives and somehow she gets to keep living at the ripe age of 76 but the healthiest people I've known in my life ended up dying of cancers and weird diseases
Make it make sense man. This country is ill.
My thoughts:
- Americans move all the time. Next time, consider its surroundings or access to grocery stores (absurd notion to me. Two farmers market, several bakeries, butchers and 5 stores within 15 min. )
- processed food is energy denser and wins there. Any other dimension is cheaper. Until you take flower and butter into consideration. Real butter.
- I bet Americans would like Burgers without buns. Just minced meat, some vegetables and onions. 3x/week.
Small steps.

I agree this is really important and I like to live where they're nearby and I could walk and/or bike, but the problem is that the cost of living where that's possible is really really high.
This country sucks dude. Our civil engineers are absolutely cracked out on meth or something.
