[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a kid in the 60s and 70s and was thin until I broke my arm doing cartwheels and my mom freaked and wouldn’t let me play outside for a while. But I rode my bike all over, played jump rope, 4 square, 7-up, tag, and walked a mile each way to school. We didn’t eat snacks all the time and carry them everywhere. You ate your lunch at school, then you maybe had a cookie when you got home. Dinner was meat, starch, veggie or maybe jello salad. No HFC, and Diet Coke wasn’t invented until 1982. We went out to dinner once a week to a steakhouse. There were no McDonald’s in my town until I was in HS. We had pizza places and a fried chicken place, but only got those every once in a while. More people smoked. If you watch old Soul Train reruns the people are super skinny. [/quote] Ohh the Jello Salads/molds. We had Jello in one of those green circular molds shaped like a bundt cake.[/quote]
