This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We (Europeans) are just more active, including walking / cycling to work every day. Try it and see the difference.

i think it's not just "activity". lots of people in the US go to the gym a lot.

but what we have here in europe is integrating movements into everyday life. Like, when i drive anywhere in the city, it typically involves a 10 minute walk (to/from the subway/tram station). And i believe that does much more than going to the gym for 1 hour once a week. Because you stay moving daily, your body stays "awake" daily, instead of just waking up once a week and then falling back into slumber.
