RANT: Unhealthy cart returns...

If you are one of the soon to be labeled (by yours truly) lazy individuals who refuses to return a cart back to the store or cart return when buying groceries, I highly suggest you do NOT read further. If you are glutton for punishment, please continue.

So word on the street, and when I say street I mean like you know the WORLD, is that the American population is one of the most overweight... like ever (forgive my valley girl vernacular today, but I'm feelin' frisky). I don't like to consider people in my country anything other than patriotic because I love America, I was born and raised here and it's my home. However, I am beginning to see why Americans are in fact a bit (like A WHOLE LOT) overweight. One of the BIGGEST (pardon the pun) reasons is because the lack of exercise. So, knowing this wouldn't you try to do little things to help keep yourself active? Of course you wouldn't!

People, like myself, who recognize they could potentially gain weight due to a shift in their lifestyle, I.e., my job sitting at a desk all day as opposed to riding 6 horses and giving lessons etc. Therefore, I park at the back of the parking lot most of the time and occasionally I take the stairs instead of the elevator and I always return my cart at the grocery store knowing those are 10 to 15 more steps I can take that day. So explain to me why this is such a hard task for people to do? It's like 10 steps. You can't take 10 steps from the VERY FIRST parking spot to return your cart to the front of the store? Really!?

No, people refuse to return carts because "The baggers are paid to get carts" WRONG they are paid to BAG your groceries... that's why they are called BAGGERS not CART FETCHERS. Walk your lazy butt to the cart return and put it where it belongs! You know, I read something a while back that said women could easily eliminate weight and unhealthiness if they took stairs more often. Stairs are like totally hard because you're like going up and stuff, so start slow and RETURN YOUR DAGGUM CART. Don't wedge it onto the side of a green area then look around in guilt hoping no one saw you. Do the right thing and take it where it needs to go!

Moral? Return your cart at the grocery store and you won't get heart disease.
