"Well, they all died at half (or less) the current life-expectancy, too. I’d hazard to guess that that sort of thing wears down the body at much higher rates."
yeah, but they didn't die because of the physical intensity. Sure, it didn't help, but the average life expectancy was due to famine, war, crime, and disease. Teenagers who grew up and worked on farms and factories during the 20s and 30s did some real hard labor and their generation is living beyond 80.
I do think though a lot of people have to put down the cell phone and go out and do some work because it's really annoying when you see people tired at the end of the day from a desk job, sitting with his brief case on his lap, falling asleep on the subway, and the construction worker is standing with his bag of tools, and lunch box.
