[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the obesity rate in this country is almost 42%:https://www.tfah.org/report-details/state-of-obesity-2022/#:~:text=Nationally%2C%2041.9%20percent%20of%20adults,obesity%20rate%20of%2041.4%20percent. Walking and biking require a degree of fitness that most folks simply don't possess. Good luck. [/quote] It's sad and true. Less than 5% of people in the US get the recommended $150 minutes of exercise a week! Pretty terrible.[/quote] On the flip side, round trip biking to work would take me nearly 150 minutes per day. Who has time for that?![/quote] Two and a half hours on a bike is a round trip of 30 miles. Just based on distance, you could bike one way and take transit the other way. Or you could bike to transit. Or... How long does your round trip driving trip take? How many minutes of exercise do you get per week?[/quote]
