Graduated in 1979. No to all of the above. Plus, out of 170 kids in my class, we had 1 obese kids and maybe 4-5 others carrying more than 15 extra pounds.
I was going to say the exact same thing. I am sure the brainwashed would say it is due to technology, and kids aren't as active but on their social websites. However, my friends and I were not athletic at all! Plus, we didn't drink diet drinks, but the real thing, and the real food. We were all a normal weight, if not skinny.
Growth hormones in the food.
I truly believe hormones in food and milk has had a huge impact. Not in a positive way either. Kids are going thru puberty at 7-8 years old. My sons hit puberty at about 10 years old. I we born in 1963 and we didn't go thru puberty until 12-13 years old. It's clear to me
Yes, and plastic water bottles seem to have a lot of toxins.
If it's in the chicken it's on use when we eat it. Simple as.
Graduated in 1975 and could say the same
73:grad had one girl in first grade w peanut allergy..she knew it and didn't eat them..ninety percent skinny kids
I graduated about 10 years after you.
Someone who graduated in the 70s posted dozens of pictures from my high school on Facebook once.
Something that stood out was that high schoolers in the 70s looked almost like adults. It wasn’t the style, it was their look. Comparing that to 80s grads, we all looked a little younger. The kids in high school (and even college) now look like children.
Maybe this is a perception from just being older, but my wife and I swear that something (vaccines, preservatives in foods, environment, whatever) is stunting kid’s growth more and more each decade.
Graduated early 70s. Fairly big high school, about ten fat kids out of 800 or so. Also, we were expected to have part time jobs, show up to school on time, every day, and start acting like real adults. We even dressed like adults. There was a dress code in my school and you got sent home if you didn't honor it. No jeans, no shorts, no tee shirts.
Also a ‘79 grad. And agree with all your comments. The pudgy ones were the Italian kids that ate well! There I go stereotyping again.
Same year I graduated...Went into the military right after, draft notice came in the mail, and weighed about 130...DI said I needed to gain some weight...😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I actually gained 20 lbs in boot camp !
Cell phones, video games, and personal computers weren’t around. Kids went outside. It isn’t the only factor, but things sure have changed.
