[quote=Anonymous]3 meals a day, regular size portions, no snacks that I recall, plenty of junk as others have mentioned - Tang anyone? I remember the rare times we were allowed a soda at a fast food place it was always the kid size that was no more than 6 oz - maybe 4 oz - A&W had mini mugs of root beer for kids. We were super skinny in our family partly due to genetics too. I agree that portion sizes, snacking, high fructose syrup and lack of activity are all causes. However, even in the 70/80s we were always shocked at how fat Americans were when we returned from Europe so even then Americans were larger than their counterparts elsewhere but certainly nowhere near the size many are today.[/quote]
