Were gyms a big thing?[/quote]

People didn't eat in restaurants as much, no drive thrus, and the shelves in grocery stores didn't contain so much garbage food processed with sugar or high fructose corn syrup etc.

There were only three tv channels with PBS in major cities. No video games, smart phones or computers for people to sit on their ass and do nothing but stare into a screen. Not many had air conditioning so going outside in the evenings was actually cooler. Hence you actually talked to and got to know your neighbors. People went to parks, lakes and the seashore. Many jobs required a certain amount of manual labor. Push mowers not riding mowers.

Basically, we didn't eat as much, the food was more healthy and we were more active.

Do people live longer now than they did then? Yep. Say thank you to the health insurance industry for providing funds that has promoted research with a way to pay for it. Which btw, is now one of the reasons why insurance is ridiculous. Vicious circle that.[/quote]
