Obesity is the theme


As i was doing research i learned a new thing about my topic. according to the article i read it turns out that obesity and overweight problems started when our ancestors started to use agriculture and farming instead of hunting. When humans first walked the earth there was a scarcity of food and people worked hard to get that food. everything that tasted good they would try to eat. but even as they were getting this food they were running or working increadible hard to get it, and the game they ate were much lower in fat then today. but the problem of obeseity started when agriculture was invented, even though they had more food the food did not have as many benefits as wild food and had more fat, as a result of this our early ancestors had calcium deficiencies, artery clogging problems, and other health related problems. but even though they had agriculture they were still working and doing physical labor. even though they had these obesity related problems obesity really kicked into higher gear when vehicles were invented and completely removed physical exercise from our lifestyle.

I just watched the movie, Wall E. In the movie the characters are given machines that eliminate all walking and excersising. The humans go years without excercise and because of this, their bones diminish in size. I think your topic could have several interesting parralels between Wall E and the future of transportation.
