Why we as a nation are fat - simple version
Treb hits yet another nail smack on de ‘ead! Amen bro. Amen.
I work in a building with 2 floors. Our office is on the first floor, and the exterior doors to our office open to the building entrance. Across the way are two elevators, and a nice wide set of stairs that goes up to the second floor. There is a balcony on the second floor, so you can see the two largest businesses up above.
Our office closed a few months ago, and I’ve been in charge of moving things out and throwing things away in addition to my normal tasks. Thus, I’m going out the front doors of our office to the dumpsters a lot.
It blows my mind how many times I’ve seen the following scenario take place:
Parent walks in with kids (there is a doctor’s office upstairs). Parent immediately veers toward the elevator. Kids veer immediately toward the stairs. Parent yells at kid to stop, and kid goes over and waits with parent for 30 seconds for the elevator door to open, so they can be lifted 15 feet above to the doctor’s office.How difficult is it to climb a flight of stairs? I’m not talking about the elderly or people with disabilities. I’m talking about Joe Public who can’t drag his lazy butt up 18 steps.
