re: Fat kids from the 80/90s

Yeah but if they lost any weight they’d look like a damn skeleton -

As a kid in the late 70s/early 80s we didn’t want to go home to eat. Too much fun stuff to do outside. And if we did we burned off our bologna sandwich and Hi-C on the bike ride back to wherever we were

The only fat kids I remember had actual glandular issues

I grew up in the 80/90's. I was just discussing this with my cousin at lunch. I went on a cruise a couple of weeks ago and it seemed like at least 50% of everybody was overweight or obese. I told my cousin when we were growing up it was rare to see obese people.
