I was in college 2009-2013 and I’d say vast majority were in decent shape. Same in high school. We had maybe 2-3 girls and 4 guys out of a class of 43 who were fat.

I look at college and high school kids now and it’s way way worse. It’s becoming a huge problem

We are just a few years apart in age. Same experience as you. Don't get me wrong we stayed in some and played video games. But the majority of our childhood and free time was spent outside. Things like playing hide and seek in the neighborhood and exploring the woods and river around us-turning over rocks looking for snakes and shite. Or we were outside playing with organized sports. When we were in HS almost all of us played at least one major sport that required year round weight and running training. Our generation actually moved our assess and didn't live life through a screen.
