So How Did We Get Into Such Bad Shape?


	So How Did We Get Into Such Bad Shape?
	Despite the fitness craze of the 80's, we're plumping up for these simple reasons: WE EAT TOO MUCH; WE EAT THE WRONG FOODS; WE EXERCISE TOO LITTLE; AND OUR PORTIONS, BOTH AT HOME AND WHEN EATING OUT, ARE TOO BIG. The fact is, our typical diet is a recipe for risk: high fat, high calories, and low fiber -- all piled too high on the plate. Life in the fast lane -- past the fast-food window -- has detoured many of us off the road to good health. We drive everywhere. We rush all the time; we eat standing up -- and then go on our hurried, unhealthy ways. Besides this, we've become a push-button society -- pressing, clicking, tapping away -- erasing the need for any body movement. Everywhere you look buttons do it all: from the PC to the elevator, from the microwave to the remote control. Think about it: modem technology has robbed us of what little effort we once exerted to crank up the car window. With each flick of a switch, our American lifestyle becomes more sedentary.
