   American Indians: They lost their land, they lost their identity, they lost   
   their diet, they lost their mobility, now they suffer from obesity and   
   diseases...   
      
   "The placement of Native Americans in food deserts didn't occur by   
   happenstance. Public health advocates have taken into account the   
   imperialistic campaigns of the early 1800s that relegated Native American   
   tribes to reservations where they had little    
   access to their original food sources and couldn't engage in an active   
   lifestyle of hunting and gathering. By the end of the 19th century, federal   
   government restrictions on movement and rations of flour, lard, and sugar   
   replaced the indigenous diet of    
   meat, protein, fruits, and vegetables that kept Native American healthy. That   
   change helped bring forth the health crisis among Native Americans today."

   The Christian way of life took over. The waters and land are poisoned, the   
   roads are jammed and deadly. Population exploded. There's no space for horses   
   or bicycles. Sedentary life is in. "Sit, pray and wait for Armageddon.":

   I'm surprised I can still get an Indian motorcycle. ;)
