Tokyo Marathon

Another week and another survey, this time concluding that a ‘majority’ of the population of the UK ( yes, including kids ) will be obese in 40 years. Given the previous survey where us hardy British felt we could garden or housework our way to a healthy life, it is perhaps not suprising.

Conclusion of this particular review was that “..human biology is simply out of step with modern life in the 21st century, with its labour-saving devices, motorised transport, sedentary work and cheap high energy foods”

My options :

• Spend less time reading these surveys and more time running/swimming/cycling
• Do nothing and hope global warming gets me first
• Write a 21st century followup to this, adding some wizards for commercial viability obviously ..
