I think a lot of the problem is deferred gratification, peer pressure, etc. A lot of people to be seen driving a Suburban is more important than the gas bill that comes with it, etc. People eat frequently at fast foods, max out on their credit cards. They know what they are doing, but lack the will to change.

The last post does give me an idea. I'd love for comics on Saturday Night Live, etc. to spoof some of the SUV commercials. Feature a wrestler tout how a Dodge Ram beats the competiton "stone cold", how it kicks butt, gets respect and girls. Just expound real commericials a bit more and get people to laugh, then think of why they are responding to the appeals to power and sex.
