im gonna say its a mix of things. mostly processed foods that are easy to make and real unhealthy. indoor entertainment. TV computers and all that fancy new stuff. back in the day when people were thinner they basicly had no choice but to go out and move around for entertainment. Even all the little details of life are lazy now. washing dishes you just put them in the dishwasher and turn it on instead of scrubbing. doing laundry is the same. instead of taking laudnry to get washed or doing it by hand its all automatic. mowing the lawn you walk behind a self propelled lawn mower instead of pushing one thats all handpower even to turn the blades. or evne worse riding on a lawn mower where you just sit on your butt. Microwaved meals take next to no effort to make to feed a family but 50 years ago cooking a meal was at least a hour of work. and that food wasnt loaded with preservitives and other unhealthy fatty stuff. Even driving was more work with the lack of power steering and automatic transmissions and power windows. Now most jobs even are lazy. sitting at a computer or whatever it is you do is most likely alot easier now then it was 50 years ago. even manual labor type jobs such as construction work. you just dont see professioals swing a hammer anymore. they are using nail guns power saws power drills power everything.
Air conditioning is the least of the troubles. Every day our world gets more and more lazy. While everyone keeps getting fatter. people pay $50 a month to go to the gym to work out when they could of saved that money and worked out by doing things the old way. go buy a fancy old fashion push mower save that money on gas for your normal mower and save the time you spend on a tredmill. scrub your dishes by hand for a light upper body workout.
