Being told what and how the newest and greatest way to eat is. To lazy to throw our trash away, to lazy to walk, to lazy pick out what we wear. Is this possibly where we are headed and it probably is not to far away and it is scary to think that that fantasy/nightmare could be a reality in a way.
Another part that stands out to me was the liquid food drink. It scares me to think that in a few gulps we could have everything to from a dinner plate and into a smoothie. I enjoy eating every part of my meal, I defiantly go against any sort of idea like this!
There are a few devices that are slowly advancing our everyday lives into this scene of the movie in my opinion. We all have used them, escalators, think about shoppers at the mall and how many times they will go up and down escalators, now think if they were stairs. The amount of calories burned over just standing there is phenomenal.

This is an article from the livestrong website discussing the advantages of taking stairs opposed to escalators or elevators. I am not saying they should be removed just that our decision making skills of when to and when not to take them are becoming poor.
Technology has now advanced to the point that we have standing moving sidewalks. I have yet to ride one or seen one, yet I know the facts of walking compared to standing will be significantly different.
Good start here. You are improving but I encourage you to dig deeper and really challenge yourself in your thinking and writing.
