Dad was mentioning about how the digitization of economy has had some adverse health outcomes in India. I am like what are you talking about? He went off about my brother and general cultural shift in India where everything now is available at click of an app - be it BlinkIt, Swiggy or otherwise. He was lamenting how even the absolute most basic thing like a packet of milk, or some spices is delivered right to you within 20 mins or sometimes even 10 mins or less - which basically meant folks like my brother and lot of others are basically becoming lazy bricks who refuse to walk for basic things. He was like everyone’s like that now and how he hates it - and how he thinks just being mobile for 30 minutes a day in evening is not enough (he’s right!), and how everyone needs to be standing and walking at all times. He is infuriated that folks don’t even walk 10 minutes to a shop to get the most basic item, but will swipe on an app and the thing is available to you within no time. He is rightly foreseeing a major health crisis happening soon in India and was like I am actually glad life in USA is not that simple so it forces ya’all to actually go to store and walk! I was like, look, we have something we can agree on!
