Comment on Why your desk job is slowly killing you

I believe it, at least the general conclusion that sitting at a desk for 40 hours a week, plus sitting in your car for another 5-10, probably ain't that good for your health. It ain't what your body was designed to do.

The physical activity levels of hunter-gatherers is actually pretty low, day-to-day. They spend a lot of days sitting around.

A fair amount of walking around and standing around, too, I would think. Certainly compared to the modern desk worker.

Do you disagree?
