When I was a child, way back in the 50's, we probably had only one obese child in a class of 25. We had two recesses a day and everyone played active games or sports during these times. When we got home we would eat a snack, probably Oreos and whole milk, and then grab the roller skates or the bicycle and stay out till dinner.

I know! I was raised on a farm and we worked hard and played harder. We also ate lots of what we were growin'....corn, potatoes, peas, beans, cows, pigs etc. And my mother was the worlds best baker...always something wonderful on the counter when we came in from playing.

Mixes and processed foods were unheard of then, and well, we had a Coke on our Sunday visits to grannies.
