....Our average age and average height continue to climb. This means we're HEALTHIER....

Is it possible that the "greatest generation" will also be the generation with greatest longevity. They exercised as children, walking everywhere, and ate unprocessed (cheap) foods. Diabetes got them after 50 or 60. With rampant type 2 Diabetes, will today's young couch potatoes reach old age?

But we grew to be taller than them, our food is better. As for our couch potato lifestyle why are gyms such big business? Don't even get me started on the type 2 diabetes "epidemic", one of the more bogus health scares of the last decade.

This "big fat lazy American" crap is just as valid as the environazis "evil resource hogging American" crap.
