Americans nowadays get little to no exercise at work, all
day, every day.
That is a big change from the age of heavy industry, before widespread
home use of washing machines and dishwashers.
We have gone so far in making our daily lives empty of
physical motion that some of us have taken to paying gym membership and
training fees to take up the slack, and even more spend much greater amounts on
diet and weight-loss programs, most of them no better than snake oil.
Oddly, people immobilized at work are the ones most apt to
stuff their faces almost constantly with junk food and eat a calorie-packed,
fatty, and salt-rich lunch every day.
Followed by a very similar supper, followed again by a
bedtime snack.
Deprived of its authentic raison d'être, appetite goes haywire.
