Fair. Time can also be a factor. Albeit you would agree that coupled to that there is also a sense of misconstrued set of priorities. Being fit is one of those things that there are no shortcuts for. Also, one had to pick and chose want is best and sometimes compromises must he done. Which I think it is a big issue who have been sold the lie that they can do and be whatever they want, which is for one not true. Also, there are only so many hours in a day, so clearly something had to give. Which in general to many it may he their health, whether they are aware of it or not.

There is also the fact that today's society is not focused overly in quality of life but in profit and production. That is a grander issue that need to be address or we are just going to have unhealthier people who just die earlier.

From my own point of view, I have studies nutritional science and do not find it neither hard nor stressful to plan my diet. That is just me, bit I also took the time to learn. Again, time is once again the tricky one. Maybe I watch less TV, maybe I play less video games, or spend less time on my phone, but that time to take of my health has to come from somewhere. Again, we cannot do it all.

Yup, it does not end until we die. So, the best thing we can do is cherry pick what priorities matter the most to us and that we not happy but content.

Sorry to hear about the commute, commuting is one of the worst things in western culture and studies were done that showed that commuting was one of the most dreaded things adults do today.
