With how cool video games are now and with all the fast food choices if I were 18 today I’d be 300lbs.
I was born in '73 and so I’m turning 38 soon, and I wasn’t a jock growing up, but the combination of a few bike rides, some walking and a few games of soccer with buddies and the fact that Coke only came in the can and the 2 liter(which is in the fridge for the family to share) and other junk foods didn’t come in that Xtreme HungerBuster! size yet kept me at a reasonable 173lbs on my 18th birthday. I remember because my weight was 173 and my birth year was 1973.
So I’m just saying that when I say that yeah, even the white women I see here in Taiwan that are only 23 or 24 and look like they’ve popped out two kids already it’s not because I think my generation walked uphill to school both ways in a blizzard every day, but that the addition of what even my 38 year-old self (who just got back from a 30 minute run in 33C/91F) would call light activity and the act of stopping at one can of Coke because when you think about it one can was more than enough and that the cartoons stopped at 11AM (at least the good ones) on Saturday morning and Atari sucked and we all knew it so that kept me from being a huge fatass till today.[/quote]
