The latest health scare is that sitting causes all kinds of trouble. Expect articles in 10 years saying it was all a lie.

- ddrmaxgt37 12y agoI love that people say that sitting for a day is as bad as smoking a cigarette.
- snogglethorpe 12y agoHmm, aren't those warnings about sitting talking about a sort of ridiculous extreme though, sitting in one position for most of the day? You maybe get that on long-distance airplane flights (and even then, you take bathroom trips etc), but even people with desk jobs almost never really sit all day like that.... [And in the of long-distance airplane flights, the whole deep-vein-thrombosis thing does actually seem to be a documented problem, if a pretty rare one...]
- cheepin 12y agoI mean the alternatives (standing and lying down) in excess are already known to be bad.
