Seeing that Tucson is finally getting on the wagon of healthier lifestyles, things that are popular in Europe where foot and bike travel are far more popular than vehicle commuting, it got me thinking about how people here don't really use the resources that we are given to help us live better. Tucson is mostly centered around two very different groups of people; college students attending the University of Arizona, the ones who are most likely to use anything that promotes physical activity. The other is retirees, and they're more likely to use golf carts to get around than their own two feet. With the great opportunities to hike, cycle, swim, golf, and the million other outdoors activities we have available, you think that we would have a much more fit community here. Alas, most would still rather go to a fast food joint than cook or find something healthy. On that note... salad anyone?
