Well hello blog world, it has been far too long! So here is to trying to change that.
So this morning on my drive to work I hear on the radio that in the past 15 years the obesity rate in America has doubled. Ridiculous. So there I sat, driving, racking my brain for what could possibly be the reason...then BAM! it hit me. My vote? Google! So 15 years ago people actually had to leave their homes for research and entertainment....alas there is no longer a need. I remember in grade school having to do book reports. This tedious process involved WALKING to the library, finding a book, WALKING back home, reading said book in its entirety, writing MY OWN paper, WALKING back to the library to return the book and finally WALKING back home. Kids these days? Google a book, Google an essay on that book, print said essay, continue shooting zombies or updating status...see where there is an obvious problem? Now, though it may seem otherwise, I am not blaming Google for obese people. I blame obese people for their own obesity, it was their choices that got them where they are. I'm just ranting that once, we had to walk to movies to view show times, or to the pool to catch the hours of operation. At one point being outside and walking wouldn't phase any of us one bit because it's all we had. In the age of Google it seems like there is a never ending foray of excuses. "It's too hot." "That's too far." "My show is coming on." "I already went out today." And so on and so forth. I say, you clearly have more than enough time to update your status, comment on pictures, and apply online which means you have plenty of time to take a walk, apply in person and tell someone with a face how you are doing...just saying.
