People relying on technology and conveince

In the documentary: How to get fat Without Really Trying, is very intriguing. I believe that North America is relying on technology to get to places faster instead of the actual way people used to do it a long time ago. People used to walk to places. Others who live a block away still utilize their car and choose not to bike or walk to work. It's all about convenience to them. If people were a lot less lazy then they would burn more calories than normal. We need to read the nutritional facts and educate people more about nutrition. Another issue is fast food like the above blog. Fast food is fast and indeed better for people who are always on the go. People aren't making meals at home as much anymore or storing them in their refrigerators to have for lunch the next day. We all need to change our life style and be more independent and smart about food choice and how we are going to cook it. Instead of not cooking it ourselves. So basically with farm subsidized food like corn, we need to stay away from soda, processed food, popcorn, and other bad things that are on the market. If we don't buy those products for us or our children then eventually they will go out of business.
