Have you ever seen photos from the 60s and 70s? American youth were NOWHERE near as fat as they are now. Of course Boomers are fat, many are over 70.  But compare obesity of boomers when they were the same age as current Gen Z. Boomers were the last normal weight people in the US.[/quote]

Fast food hasn’t caught on yet. The school lunches were actually cooked on the property and not sent in frozen. Couple that with less physical activity and you have a high rate of obesity.[/quote]

People didn't really eat all that healthy, but they seemed to eat a lot less and most of it was cooked at home. My parents, for example, grew up on bologna sandwiches on white bread, and a lot of fatty beef, pork and potatoes. The standard meat and potato diet.  But they didn't eat out, they drank water or milk as kids, and walked everywhere as they grew up in a large city.[/quote]

People don’t realize how many calories are tacked on just from sugary coffee, soda, and fried food. Our portions are also big compared to other countries.[/quote]
