And ... lack of exercise I think, Muddy.Re: Why we are fatter today
My dad and I were only talking about this yesterday. How they put sugar in everything. The cheaper certain foods are the more sugar content there is.Re: Why we are fatter today
Its what goes in the food these days, whatever you buy just look at the label, you have all these E numbers, loads of Sugar, Salt and Animal Fat. Also especially children don't do exercises. When I was at School we had Drama and Exercise Class every day, also we did Country walks. But the good old days, I used to do a lot of Roller Skating which I don't think Kids do today, and I was always playing Rounders, today the Kids sit in their rooms stroking their phones or watching Videos or Play Stations.Re: Why we are fatter today
It makes interesting reading. They didn't also mention though that plate sizes are much bigger now and this creates the feeling that if it isn't filled you are being short changed as it were. Add that to the fact that we are encouraged not too waste food and we tend to finish whatever is put in front of us.Re: Why we are fatter today
My little 13 year old grandaughter could be prone to being chubby in the past she occasionally gained chubbinesss and it did concern me , but in the last two years she is doing ballet and tap dancing and lots of activities , she has become tall and very shapely and slim . It is definately activity and healthy eating that's important .Re: Why we are fatter today
HiRe: Why we are fatter today
I’ll echo the others and place the blame on food choices and lack of exercise.Re: Why we are fatter today
I’m not sure what the answer is. My Dad came from a large, poor family and they were brought up on anything that was cheap and filling. Suet puddings, yorkshire puddings, fried bread, dripping, sugar sandwiches, condensed milk etc. he lived to 85 and most of his friends were brought up similarly in the 1920s and 30s and lived long lives.
