Do you suffer from 'Sitting Disease'?

OK, I get it Americans are big, fat fatties.
Forbes has praised the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk As “one of the best workplace luxuries anywhere.”
Medical reports and studies have focused on rising obesity rates and ill health caused by “Sitting Disease,” a term that includes syndromes and diseases caused by sedentary lives. While the financial and productivity risk to American business is understood, affordable solutions to the problem have proven to be a challenge.
Forbes.com, spotlighting office innovations, praised the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk as a way to restore health and lose weight.
“We are pleased by Forbes recognition as to the tremendous health benefits attributable to walking and working with a TrekDesk, however based on recent medical evidence we would replace the word luxury with necessity,” says TrekDesk founder Steve Bordley.
While this cool, healthy desk sounds really neat...I'd rather sweat off my double quarter-pounder with cheese in the gym and not in the office.
