Health and Fitness

There has been a worrying trend over recent decades towards very unhealthy lifestyles with complete lack of exercise coupled with bad diets that has left the human race (in the Western World at least) unfit, unwell and largely overweight.
We are now far less likely to have a balanced diet and have all the vitamins that we need leading to a huge rise in the consumption of dietary supplements, and a market has developed for discount supplements. We, as a race spend far more time in sedentary pursuits and rather too much time at the computer, so much so that we tend to get most of our information from this source too.
The only recent innovation that might help to get the human race lean and mean is the Wii Fit, and that is only successful because we don't want to step outside of our comfort zones, how bizarre that we would want to play pretend tennis in preference to actual tennis.
