The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Or the governments with their insane food subsidy programmes.

But I’m certainly not blaming the escalator companies.

However, when we allow ourselves to believe we’re entitled to a life of utter convenience and comfort, it’s not that surprising that we have ended up in a situation where the declining standard of health is one of the biggest dangers facing our future.

Just like I said a while back that it’s not google making us stupid, it’s us making us stupid … the same goes for our obesity epidemic.

It might be nice to shift all the blame on to someone else.

It might be easy to say we’re just a pawn in big business’ evil game.

But rarely does something happen unless you want it to and taking notice when something terrible happens – whether to you or someone else – is a dangerous game to play.

As I said, I know there are external factors that influence our choices – and I absolutely appreciate there are socio-economic situations and conditions that impact many people’s lives – however I believe obesity is as much an attitude problem as it is a bad food problem so next time you see an escalator, take the stairs.

Oh, and before anyone says it, I know I am the last person on the planet who has the right to say this with a straight face … but nothing, not even seeing your 36 year old mate almost die a few weeks ago from a torn aorta, aneurysm and mini-strokes, changes your perspective like the impending birth of your first child.

Hell, the kid isn’t even born and he/she is changing my life … I’m doomed!
