Technology has made most common chores ten fold easier that indirectly promotes an unhealthy sedentary lifestyle.
Children prefer to sit down for hours on end on their iPads or video games instead of being active in any way.

We constitute a small tribe of one and a half million persons. The Census Bureau predicts that this number is growing rapidly. In one Quaker…
