No kidding. When I was in high school in the early 70s....maybe 1 in 50 girls were truly fat fat.

Nowadays, high school girls are much heavier overall....maybe 30% heavier....cup sizes are up correspondingly two.

father of 4 here including two average sized high school girls who are considered rail thin by their peers but would have been normal in my day.

Ive heard it said that the growth hormones in beef could have a hand in kids being larger than they were in the 60's and earlier. Who knows? Could be something to it.

You are right, wardaddy.
We didn't have a weight problem back then.

This area is known to stress fitness and nutrition.
But, folks are very big out here, especially the young'uns.
That's to be expected when they eat Toaster Struedel for breakfast,
McDonald's/Taco Bell for lunch (in school, no less), and KFC for supper.

I remember when "fast food" came out of a machine. ;o)

I bet your darling girls are built like you.
Between you and the lovely mrs. wardaddy, your boys have fantastic genes.
