People (including the ptb) don't want to get into over-consumption and want of activity because that is tied so tightly to the mechanics of capitalism and how it structures our lives. And it is *very* difficult to step out of the little grooves that our economic structure creates: suburbs that aren't walkable, car commuting, long days mostly devoted to work with TV & a quickie meal at the end, etc. (and now computers -- i know my bottom's grown in that respect)
