Man, thank goodness for the boomers, or else we’d actually have to look at ourselves.

It's like people fricking forget that every generation has had a counter culture. Millenials know that not everyone in the 60s was a hippy. Just like not all millenials are "hipsters"

I let my weight ebb and flow
I'm 6'2" and if my weight hits 200, I start dieting. I'll get it down to 190 and relax on the diet for a couple months, then weigh 200 again, and rinse and repeat.
It just takes self-control and an accurate digital scale.
ETA:
And by dieting I mean limiting carbs (beer and pasta) and sweets. And I try to avoid eating late dinners.
The weight just falls off.

Did older generations eat out as much during the work week?
Buddy of mine and his coworkers go to nice restaurants every day for lunch. Then typically grab something out for dinner. Even sometimes go to these hot new breakfast joints.
Yeah they go to the gym like most young professionals, but 30-45 minutes of "after work" weight lifting plus 8 hours of office desk work ain't going to burn those 3000 calories.

This is the point. Boomers parents didnt have that luxury. They ate meals at home.

Does anyone have the nutrition stats for Tide pods?
Posted on 2/26/18 at 11:02 am to StringedInstruments
Yes. Millennials
1) eat out too much
2) drink too much sugary or alcoholic drinks
3) mostly inactive
restaurant meals are almost always going to be carb heavy (higher profit margin) and loaded with oils/butter (flavor)
millenials also socialize over drinks way more than previous generations

if you could provide some data, I'd happily read it and amend my thoughts

In Japan, this generation is simply isolating themselves
Japan's Hikikomori
Parents spend thousands on social workers to try to convince young men to leave their bedroom in their parents homes
Poor parenting

quote:
Known as hikikomori, these are people, mainly men, who haven’t participated in society, or shown a desire to do so, for at least a year. They rely instead on their parents to take care of them. In 2016, the Japanese government census put the figure at 540,000 for people aged 15-39. But it could easily be double that number. Since many prefer to stay entirely hidden, they remain uncounted.

The longer the hikikomori remain apart from society, the more aware they become of their social failure,” explains Elan. “They lose whatever self-esteem and confidence they had, and the prospect of leaving home becomes ever more terrifying. Locking themselves in their room makes them feel ‘safe’.”

Didn't have the money. Eating out was a luxury.

And people say American millennials are the worst.
Posted on 2/26/18 at 11:40 am to TH03
Oh, I'm positive it's happening in the USA but just isn't officially recognized as a phenomenon.
