Since the 80's...
- People have gotten heavier, even though there's more healthy food available than ever.
- Reading has been dropping, but the number of writers and published books per year is staggering.
- Playing a musical instrument for fun has dropped a great deal, even though, for most instruments, there are more manufacturers and more options than ever.
- Sports has dropped, even though more people than ever are a member of a sports club and/or fitness center.

I don't understand. How can the usage / activity of basically everything be dropping and dropping in the stats for 30 hears, while there are _MORE_ options to pursue these activities than ever before?
The tragedy of too much choice? People can't decide on any one thing, so they choose not to decide.
