re: #710 ggt

You really think gym class has any impact on obesity rates?

I didn’t break a sweat in gym class, ever.

I didn’t either.
And looking at old photos - people were much slimmer in times when there was NO GYM CLASS in school -

The obesity rate in this country has a lot to do with:
1) People not eating the right foods because they take a vitamin pill everyday and so they think it’s OK to have a steady diet of fast-food.
2) People serving themselves HUMONGOUS portions of food at home because that’s the portion size they get in a restaurant and they think it’s “normal”.
3) People eating everything on their plate when what they’ve been served at a restaurant (or at home) is really enough for 2 or 3 or sometimes 4 meals.
