Fat

Sometimes I think that I am probably blowing some things that I get all worked up about out of proportion. An example of something that gets me worked up is obesity in America. It is an issue that is impacted by many (to me) non-sensical aspects of American choices. But perhaps it is something else less insidious, maybe.

But just the other day, a friend of ours from Denmark who has been in this country for ~10 months, came riding by on her bike. In the course of conversation with my wife she declared that she was out riding because she has gained so much weight since moving here. 10 months!!! That bothers me. Simply moving to my country, which I still think quite highly of, and simply living the way that one lives here has already made her noticeably (to her, I haven't seen her) heavier. To me, this is just symptomatic of the types of things that should change but won't.
