[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was alive then too, younger people were thinner but older people were just as large. Think kids had more exercise/ time outside (because no one cared if we were kidnapped or not) and portions were smaller then. But, older people didn't tend to exercise and also smoke and drank a lot. [/quote] Yes, and life expectancy was shorter. My frend's fathers, and my father, all had heart attacks in the 50 to 60 age range. Mothers were definitely heavier in their 50s and 60s compared to now. But I do agree about the kids- we weren't on computers all day.[/quote] The retirement homes are now filled with those once portly middle aged people.[/quote]
