" Japan is not built around cars. There are more trains. You get to walk more."

I hear this a lot, but what does this really amount to? I live in a city without a car, and all my walking on my daily commute (during non-covid times) burns 125 calories or so. That's nothing. Eating two oreo cookies is more calories than that.

Moreover, consider that America is no more car centric than it was in 1970 or 1980, but people are much larger now than then.
