Earlier quoted context omitted.
Walk around the supermarket that you drive to, hopefully not being maimed or maiming someone else on the way. A ludicrous expenditure of energy to avoid physical activity so that you can buy products to help alleviate the symptoms of the energy expenditure and laziness. Can’t walk, or bike, or take the non-existent public transit. That’s for sure.
I don't think driving is merely to avoid physical expenditure. Driving is a result of rural and suburban living as well as poor urban planning. Lots more people would walk or bike if it was reasonably feasible.
Where I live in Europe, the expectation is that the kids will walk or take the bike to school. 95% of the paths they need to travel is covered by walkways (usually separated from the roads, and in many cases with dedicated bike lanes). Everywhere the kids need to cross, there are crosswalks, and every morning before school a team of parents is organized to safeguard these crosswalks.
Meanwhile, driving is slowed down significantly by the efforts above. The roads are underfunded and lines tend to form around the school (some parents still do drive their kids, up to about half when the weather is really bad). But with parents blocking the crosswalk every time a kid is near, bottlenecks do form. Basically, if you're in a car, you're treated as a 2nd rate citizen. :)
Oh, and I suppose one benefit of all this walking is that hospital bills go down. Mostly because of the exercise, but also to some extent due reduction in air polution (which is helped further by most of the remaining cars being electric, most of which, ironically, are of a certain American brand).
