Just about everything food is SUPER SIZED
I recently saw an article that was showing the difference between food portions 5o years ago and today. A bagel is almost twice as big today and a muffin is bigger than twice as big these days

We tend to drive EVERYWHERE
Many places we need to go it is not exactly made for riding a bike or walking, it is just too dangerous

Exercise is a BAD word and very misunderstood
“I’m going to get in shape and workout” I have heard that from countless numbers of people and shortly after that they say “That was to hard” or “I just don’t have time” or “ I tried it for a week and nothing happened so I stopped” I am also guilty of the “I don’t have time” excuse

And most food we buy is FULL of fat and sugar.
Just read the labels in the supermarket and you too will understand

Other than that I don’t know
