[quote=Anonymous]i think it might've been b/c we are also taller and have access to better nutrition at a young age so our bones grow bigger.  Like Audrey Hepbournes' svelte form was b/c of starvation through the war.

We think that everyone was eating meat, veg & mash everyday but roast chicken/beef was a Sunday dinner thing.  even if people did eat meat everyday, it was a very small portion or maybe a stew.  Lunch would be a cheese sandwich and an apple an a glass of milk when you were a kid with maybe a cookie or graham cracker. Maybe a slice of baloney and 1 slice of lettuce.  being able to eat to bursting at every meal all year around became available to the baby boomers when the war production machine switched to producing food for americans. Baby Boomers aren't particularly thin.  Before WW2 most of the population was rural.  Also, this is something people don't realize but I have lived with live in help- when you have help, gardener, maid, driver etc . . the menu is planned and you get a set meal at a set time and teh rest gets eaten usually by the helpers or whoever comes round to do something that day, like my grandmothers house has terrible plumbing so the extra slice of dessert we didn't eat at tea would get served to him. Whenever I was at my grandmothers' homes I would always lose weight even though wed get a proper fried breakfast, lunch, tea and a very late dinner.  So even wealthy americans wouldn't be able to just eat 'at will' but would have to eat at the appointed times.  A lot of kids didn't get sufficient calories to grow to their full potential- just like europeans. They all thought the american soldiers were so tall but now all those nationalities  are much taller than the average American is.  [/quote]
