Either STOP Eating so frikkin much, Change your diet or develop a serious Cocaine Habit. All 3 will work

I grew up in the 60’s and early 70’s, there were NO FAT PEOPLE to speak of, very few. Besides your eating habits, what has changed? or is this one of the many hazards caused by Climate Change?

I grew up in the 60’s and early 70’s, there were NO FAT PEOPLE to speak of, very few.

I remember being so disgusted as a kid about how fat Jackie Gleason was. I though that kind of fat was just gross.

Recently I saw an old clip from one of the Honeymooners, and from today's perspective, he isn't all that obese.

I thought the contrast was interesting. I really gave me a good idea about how rare that kind of fat was in those days.

Besides your eating habits, what has changed?

The FDA's restructuring the food pyramid and encouraging people to eat more carbs.

Fast food. Eating out. Convenience foods and microwaves.

People spending more time in front of the screen, both TV and computer.

People not getting up and moving and doing things like mowing their own lawns and doing their own yardwork, hanging out laundry, tending a garden, not living in small towns where they could walk places instead of always needing to take a car.
