The "progress" we've made in the last 45 years feels like anything but...
I'm starting to think we really ought to change Our name to - The United States Of High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Back then an obese person was a "sight".
And I don't remember anyone on Prescription Meds.
And Old Folks weren't as feeble like middle aged people are today.
And Heartburn - never even heard of it.
There were no artificial sweeteners.
And nobody was on a "low salt diet".

I'm believin' that we are in an age of really bad science.

And what's with all these FAT kids?????!!!
I weighed 96 lbs. when I was 11 and was considered "big".
