What a lie that we have equal work and play time. The typical 8 to 5 workday is 9 hours, and that doesn't include time to get ready or commute. Nor does it acknowledge that some (many) people need more than 8 hours of sleep. It's all an ugly lie. Also, if every day is a giant pie, no wonder so many folks stuggle with weight management.
