Where I live, people living in the rural areas had physically fit bodies 40 years ago. This was because they were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, devoting all their energy to these pursuits. Now, their bellies have grown so large that they can barely walk. The time they spend on agriculture and animal husbandry is now minimal. Villagers, who were purely producers, have now become consumers. They consume packaged and processed foods in the most uninformed way possible. They come to the city center every day and return to their villages without doing anything. They have become so accustomed to convenience and comfort that they even buy eggs from the city center. They consume eggs from chickens raised in those unsanitary conditions. The situation has become quite dire.
