Your first point makes sense, but the second part? The reason American health is so bad is that we are required to own and operate a vehicle in 99% of this country. That's what makes us obese - not having walkable environments other than in the largest cities. Having to drive to the nearest food which is almost always fast food. We are like this because we have been made slaves to our work and everything has been created to get us back to work faster.
