Why people were skinny in the 70's

[Lockback]

Oh, God NO!!!!

 

[Harry Dresden]

Okay mods.

I'm calling for a clear permaban on this poster! Yikes.

you dont think hillary had some nice tits?...

 

[Concerned American]

Yeah, but did you stay outside all the time?
If you did, thats why. You burned it all off before getting home after school.......or before dinner every night.

LOL, first thing I heard after breakfast in the morning was 'go outside and play.' That's where we stayed until lunch time and it was the first thing we heard after. We never stayed inside. Living in the southwest, it was year around. All the kids in the neighborhood would get together and play too. I don't notice groups of neighborhood kids playing these days.

I know one thing: back in the Seventies, I burned off a whole lot of calories.
I'll leave it to your imagination as to how I accomplished that.

Please, don't keep us in suspense (are you blind, need glasses, have hairy palms)?

Fat kids are much more accepted than when I was a kid. At my high school, I see guys who seem like they could be picky holding hands with girls that would have been embarassingly fat in my day. There's a fat guy, who is also average height to a little short who has this tall slim drink of water who waits for him after class so she can sneak a kiss. The students seem to out of their way to date someone who is opposite.

I'm glad kids are happy with themselves, but sometimes I wonder 'should they be, though?'

Nah. I don't kiss and tell.

 

[LibertyWeeps]

Nah. I don't kiss and tell.

BUT..........they'd do ANYTHING you want for a Klondike bar.

There was one such couple in my HS class. He was borderline obese, she was slim and trim, and beautiful. And they married shortly after graduation.

Of the 150 in my HS class there were only about a half dozen kids that were overweight.

Back then, kids who were overweight either had medical issues, or were born with a family gene trait that keeps them from losing weight.

Because fatties (young women) didn't look good in halter tops.

That bony little wire doesn't either.

Maybe we could all learn something from this...

Dad? LMAO

Sorry, I was born in 1960, so... My bad.

 

[rightwinger]

In the 1970s we did not have remote control TVs
Walking back and forth to the TV burned a lot of calories

Not true at all.

I WAS The channel Changer along with the Antenna too! It was my Bridge Station. lol

LOL, I remember. We didn't have a remote until the mid 80s. I used to kid my wife about having to kick her to change the channel--early remote. I also remember standing on the roof and turning the antenna until I heard "hold it there!"

I met one guy who was morbidly obese about two years after graduation. He was slim and muscular, had shed glasses for contacts. He had to tell me who he was as I didn't recognize him. At our 10th reunion he had changed back to who he was in HS, obese and wearing glasses. He was happy, however.

Wow, you got tater chips on your tuna casserole? My mom used cornflakes.

My condolences.

Yes, tater chips on tuna casserole was the BEST!

I remember the kids in the house were the remotes. All the way across nine feet of shag carpet! And we thought walking uphill (both ways) to get to school in the wintertime was tough duty!
