[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No fast food and much better coke. And also people really cared and ate better. Today it feels trendy to be fat.[/quote]

We had tons of fast food in the 70s and 80s

People ate like sh*t in that time, too

You guys really need to stop making assumptions about ye olde days[/quote]

Well, what do you think is the difference? I grew up in the 70s and we didn't eat anywhere near the crap my kids eat now. My parents didn't exercise, smoke or do any drugs either. They are STILL slim in their 80s.[/quote]

I am the PP and I genuinely don't know what accounts for the differences. Perhaps it is chemicals and hormones (though that just sounds like woo woo/moral shaming to me). Perhaps it's subtle shifts in lifestyle. I don't have the answer, I can just say that as someone who grew up in that time it wasn't because we were growing our own food, walking everywhere, and eating small portions of nuts and berries back then. Sure my friends and I had way more freedom to ride our bikes and see where the day took us - but the kids I know now (I don't have kids myself) are on, like four soccer teams every season and are getting a LOT of exercise, more than we got f**king around all day for sure.[/quote]
What is woo woo about chemicals and hormones? They are the opposite, they are science. [/quote]
