LOL... bro, it is a culmination of a bunch of things - watching the Discovery Everest series and seeing the Sherpas kicking ass up there while westerners are stumbling around barely able to breathe, my own determination to improve my functional fitness and watching Navy Seal and Ranger training videos, etc.... and then looking around and seeing all the people with their guts hanging over their belt buckles stuffing their faces full of greasy food...
It is very depressing, I've got to admit. I'm not trying to be melodramatic here, but it reminds me of the final stages of the Roman Empire, where the decadent Romans increasingly relied on a mercenary army to protect them from the hungrier, meaner tribes surrounding them, to no avail of course. The fruit had rotten from inside. It is painful to watch these obese creatures waddling around, stuffing their face and wondering what their latest celebrity did on TV - sickening. If the Western world goes the way of the Roman Empire, I'm not going to go down with it, that's for sure.
