Be careful not to drink too much water though, your body needs the salt that gets flushed away :-)
As a 3-4l of water/day type of person I have first hand encountered the lack of salt (cramps while I sleep) and also the solution: add salt to your diet. I makes the food taste nice to boot!

Books have the benefit that they are usually not fixed in place. When I read, I tend to change my posture quite a lot. Of course you can get similar mobility watching videos on a tablet/smart phone.
TV has the same if not better benefit - it's probably just less frequently utilized. I'm sure I watch more TV than the average American (which is saying a lot) with a screen in all of the major rooms in my apartment. But 50-75% of the time that I'm watching, I'm cleaning, preparing meals, etc.
I sit most of the days but I also take about 12-20k steps/day walking. So basically whenever I don't sit around in front of a computer I move. Is that really so bad? I mean you have to rest sometimes.

I work remotely 80-90 hours a week using my laptop (this is important: your screen needs to be mobile). Here's how I currently try to keep my body moving: - I don't have a desk or chair. I have a bar table and a stool. This makes a huge difference. I get uncomfortable sitting on the stool after about 30 minutes, so I get off. Then I'll stand at the bar table and work for an hour or two. When I get tired of that, I'll…
"I work remotely 80-90 hours a week" I think that's your problem right there, regardless of all the extra measures you're taking, that's mental.

Why are some people always suspicious of others who work a lot ? Genuine question as I don't have this kind of sensibility it seems.
Sometimes it's bragging. Sometimes it's somewhat delusional. A lot of folks who say they work that long don't really.
To be forced to do that much is awful, to do it voluntarily is probably obsessive.
We absolutely do not want that to become 'normal' or accepted. As others have mentioned, our forebears fought very hard to get the right to a family life, the right to time away from the grind. We shouldn't give it up so easily.
It's also likely to be really unhealthy.

In my experience a large percentage of people that are fat are in a scooter and most of the older people are either on a scooter or in a wheelchair. It definitely makes one deja vu to WALL-E. If everyone was in a scooter they would have to limit admissions even more, it's built to accommodate scooters but not for everyone to be in a scooter, yet. The fireworks show would be a total traffic jam without the mobility of…
Those places ought to require a doctor's note with a legitimate medical problem (not just obesity) in order to use a motorized scooter.

I love my work, and doing something 80-90 hours a week that I love hardly seems like a problem. :-) I work 7 days a week, so it works out to around 12 hours a day. That gives me 4 hours of 'other' time if I sleep 8 hours a night.

I think his point is that regardless of the measures you're taking, your health will likely suffer.
I'd hazard sitting a lot in a 40 hour job and moving around the rest may be safer.
