You would think we would not have an obesity problem since we walk fast. Maybe we are walking fast to fast food places.

Makes me wonder where we think we're going that's sooo important
Good article! Where I work, it's not unusual to see people actually running to get from place to place, which is not always good. In my blog today, I wrote about the increasing price of gas and how we may end up walking more...I linked to your blog as being a timely comment on what I was thinking. Nice work - I enjoy your blog enormously and read it every day. Best wishes, Bilbo.
Let me see, why the Middle Easterners walk the slowest...
- Oil rich countries, people don't need to work hard?
- Their traditional costumes make it difficult for them to walk fast?
