My daughter was working out at the gym twice a day, but would drive around a parking lot three or four times to park close to the store so she wouldn’t have to walk far. Never understood that logic. LOL

No wonder CNN is consistently the “third name in news” . . .

Fitness buff or not, long walks through parking lots are often not particularly safe for women, regardless of time of day.

Anybody who would make a choice that CNN disapproves of is obviously stoopid.

While we’re suggesting nanny-state methods of controlling the population, how about banning the use of TV remote controls, forcing viewers to get up off the couch to change the channel.

That way, nobody would ever tune in to CNN.

Yeah, we’re just brute beasts who shuffle along, bearing toward the path of least resistance—the slower-closing elevator door and all, driving us unthinkingly toward the stairs...

“but would drive around a parking lot three or four times to park close to the store so she wouldn’t have to walk far.”

I eat healthy foods anyway, so it's no big deal if the government enacts something like this.

(yes, that was '/s')

Atlanta, CDC and all that's going on today make me remember Stephen King's novel The Stand.

Boy-howdy, are we close to that kind of scenario!

I guess they’ve never seen me make scaffolding out of items in my grocery cart in order to reach the last remaining bag of Chili Cheese Fritos on the top shelf at the grocery...

“Worldwide, more than half of deaths are due to four diseases: cancer, heart disease, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease.”

And if we eliminate these four culprits we’ll all die of something else.Do they think we’re fools?

Reminds me of something I noticed during a public transit strike. I commuted by bicycle and every morning passed a fitness club in the Financial District that was full of people who would drive downtown early every morning then spend an hour riding stationary bicycles.

This sounds like something out of the Cass Sunstein book, Nudge.

I am all in favor of health. I am not in favor of my government forcing me, or nudging me, to do what “they” decide are healthy things.

I still run like I am on active duty, and drink moderately. Healthy enough for me.

That’s very true, but I don’t think it was a safety issue for her.:)
