You would be surprised. The speed somebody walks says a lot, namely there determination to get some where and the importance they put on something. In this case, the faster people walk, the faster their heart beats, hence the related heart disease along with fast unhealthy meals. The speed somebody eats would again be related to the pace of life. Somebody who has a lot to do would eat fast, walk fast and in general live fast. This isn't the only source that supports that argument.
I am living in Miami,US now, and my homecourty is Beijing, China.The big difference betwwen US & China. The biggest contrast that I see is that the US seems so slow and ....well boring versus life in China Of course, stability, clean air and enforced laws does have its merit but life in the US seems a bit complacent and comfortable for many people.studying outside my home in Beijing, I see people struggling and sacrificing each day to earn perhaps four or five dollars a day. They are not what I would describe as happy (their life is quite hard) but I do see them as hopeful that things will continue to improve for them and their children. Everyone saves saves saves for things like an apartment and a car. They have no where to go but up.
In the US, I sense a feeling of malaise with a bit of insecurity that China and India is fast on the heels of both the US and the EU. There seems to be less options and optimism bout the future.Housing prices are high, fuel costs are skyrocketing, jobs are becoming more service oriented and the source of financial and technology news seems more and more to be outside the US. Athough, people are still well off, there is a feeling that the trend is downward for themselves and their family.
