And I think that

It is funny, though, that we have these acronyms for basically like this is just the way life was 100 years ago.

If you look at like the 1800s, almost 100% of Americans lived on a farm, basically, like pre-industrialization, pre-urbanization.

Most Americans, not 100%, but close, lived.

They grew some of their own food.

They lived either on a farm or had a large garden.

Now that number is less than 1%.

So, like, movement was just built into everything we did.

And you think from there, like, what has happened?

Like, we were outside.

We were moving.

Our activities of daily living involved movement.

And if you just take the grocery example, then it moved to, like, okay, maybe farmer's markets and sort of, like, you know, outdoor open-air markets.

Then it's supermarkets.

Then it's, you know –

Now it's literally buying food online with the click of the button.

And now some people aren't even doing that.

They're literally on the food delivered to them with Uber Eats.

So at every level, we've taken away movement from everyday life.

And now we have sort of an acronym to bring it back in.
