Yep, that's the American Way. Sit at home watching TV eating delivered pizza because it's "too dangerous" outside, or driving to the nearest fast-food place in their brand-new giant SUV because "it's more convenient". Tell me how convenient a stroke is. I've worked with folks who've had strokes, and it's not convenient at all for them or their family.

Well, if we were all at "racing weight" we'd be both healthier and not want new cars every 5 years when the car's suspension is shot slinging 250+ lbs of human around a corner at breakneck speed, or having the struts compress unnecessarily when slingshooting away from a stoplight quickly, only to slam on the brakes 1/4 mile down at the next light.
