Walking faster is a BAD thing??

I make it a POINT to walk fast at all times. To work, upstairs, any time I can get my heart rate a little faster during the day...then this?

Ditto, I make it a point to walk everywhere with a purpose, not to mention I intentionally park at the far end of the parking lot when i go anywhere(except on dates). And when I go up stairs I usually run. In a world that's getting fatter by the day why would this be a bad thing?
