Or alcoholism. We live in stressful times and kids need a release

You should try a topical CBD salve that you just apply to their leash before you put it on.

We should encourage kids to smoke to deal with their stress.

Just make sure you charge the kids a little extra. Just cuz you’re doing a nice thing doesn’t mean you can’t get a cut.

The 1950’s to 1970’s were not known for whole food. It was the era of Fruity Pebbles for breakfast, a Tastee cake with lunch, and a dinner made with Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and other canned goods.

Fruity Pebbles didn’t hit the market until the early 70s. There was definitely processed food coming down the line but we didn’t shift to be fully dependent on it until the 70s and 80s, latchkey kids, etc.

Maybe not whole foods per se but more whole than modern diets. The main point was in fast food diets. You think the growth hormones we pump into livestock doesn’t make it’s way into us? Take a look at the kids today raised on the stuff whose parents still get them a Happy Meal™️ every Friday. It isn’t as simple as a a calorie surplus, the shit is endocrinologically changing people’s whole chemobiology from the cradle. Kid’s bodies today do not handle or distribute excess calories like they used to.

The obesity rate in the 60s was 13%. Now it’s 43%.

I feel like kids in the 80s and 90s were forced to do more physical activity leading to kids who overate looking more like football linemen. Now they do nothing physical and look more like Jabba the Hutt.

A lot of this is just the loss of proper third spaces where kids can get outside. Now if you and your friends are walking around the mall, you get security hassling you. Hell, even if you’re just in a park or wandering your neighborhood, cops/rangers/randoms will give you shit if you don’t have a specific reason to be there. Don’t even think of trying to hang out at your school after hours, or using their fields/playgrounds to play on.
Yes, some of it IS cultural. But at least from my N=4 between my nieces and step nieces, kids really enjoy playing outside weather permitting. It’s just that they don’t have places to do that. Sure, you might have a park in your neighborhood - does it have sidewalk access? Sure, your kids might have bikes or scooters or skates - can they safely ride them without getting turned into a speed bump by a high-line truck or SUV?

I got called husky a lot as a kid. But I was probably just fat.
skeezix@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Judging by your pictures I’d say yes.
Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I remember being mortified whenever mom would take me pants shopping and would tell the hot ass associate that we were looking for the husky section. Like, obviously the woman that was way too old for me could clearly tell that I needed that section, but something about mom saying just really drove the nail into my guts.

Athletic + husky
I think a lot of those kids became bullies.
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Nah, I ended up an engineering nerd. You’d be surprised.
Athletic + husky is the outcome of quitting team sports but keeping the diet XD

You’re thinking about Butterball.

Uhhh i saw tons of kids like this when i was a teenager and i’m pretty sure they still exist. And continue to be “husky” into adulthood.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They call us “big and tall” now, duhh!
darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
What about us short and fat ones?
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Except none of it is for tall anymore. It used to be, years ago when they first started this, I could get size LT in the store for two dollars more, and they were a little longer. I still have a couple in my closet. Not anymore. “Big and tall” is only big now, and that means 3XL+ shirts, that are still too short. Of course, if I wear a 3XL shirt, it does hang lower, because it fits like a tent.

I was a kid-tween during the ‘husky’ era and can tell you it never implied athleticism in the slightest.
It was a nice word for ‘chubby’, cos marketing.
