Bummer: 3% of Americans live healthy

April 26, 2005

I heard it on NPR today. A survey of 150K Americans gave results that shocked even the researchers: only 3% do the following 4 things: *don't smoke, *eat right, *aren't overweight, *exercise. No wonder that businesses that encourage and work with people who believe in sustainable culture tend to be small business. I didn't realize just how small! I wonder if the stats would go down even more if they added "live within their means" to the list of almost extinct basic sound living practices.
