[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the 1960's in Bowie. I attended Tulip Grove Elementary. We drank from water fountains. No one carried water or any other beverages. If you worked at a steel mill or construction you might have carried coffee in your lunch pail. Kids ate three meals a day with no snacks. Kids were not overweight. You maybe had one kid in the classroom who was 10 pounds over weight. Food was a costly part of the family budget. Kids were not allowed to eat in Iicars. Kids ate at the kitchen table or dinner table for meals. Kids were not allowed to eat on couches. I remember visiting (touring) downtown DC in the summer heat. Everyone drank from water fountains when they were thirsty. No one carried around any liquids.[/quote] Almost all of that is same as today. Fat poor people living off fast food burgers and fries and pizza aren't everyone. [/quote] New poster and no it’s not. Even non poor people seem to let their kids snack all day long now, the snacks will just be ultra processed food that seems healthy instead of twinkies. Think of all the Instagram dieticians that tell us now we’re supposed to give our kids unlimited sweets and no food is “bad”. [/quote]
