This deserves its own thread: Look what shape people were in in the early 80's.

Mostly the fault of the TV. But computers in the last 8 to 10 years.

So you don't think people are getting fatter? Check out the proof in the link below from the CDC and watch the animated map from 1985 to 2007.

Colorado with the least fat people in 2009? Is that the poorest state in the US?

Not even close.

people had less time back then as well, studies show we have much less busy time now & a lot more free time than ever yet the *i'm so busy* excuse is often used. i don't have time to exercise, i have to take this call while i'm driving, etc. et al.

Interesting observation

That's true. I've found myself over 5 hours of free time a day and wonder where it has all gone. I started to then track my habits and group my time together in "blocks" to eliminate the time wasters in my life. Very good observation.

[QUOTE=baddog;15489475]I was thinking back to the day, and I have to admit, I am having a problem remembering any of my friends that were fat. Seems that was the exception rather than the rule.

My oh my...look at that stud ;)

People are definitely getting fatter, I didn't suggest thats untrue at all. look back at what i wrote. i'm just saying those pictures aren't worth shit when trying to make this argument. i can open up facebook and start flipping through my photo albums and albums of my friends, and you know what, not many out of shape people in there. because we do shit. hike, swim, snowboard, ski, i live in an area where the majority of the people are active. 50 random pictures don't account for anything.

i agree that technology has probably been the biggest factor in the world getting fatter. Shitty foods coming in second...

I think I spotted my hippy parents in there...

Damn, Father Time is a MUTHAFUCKA.

None of you would throw away your gadgets to be a part of that now. A crowd like that today would all be flipping phones open every two seconds wondering when the act on stage would be uploaded to a grainy crappy vid on youtube collecting comments.

Nor did I imply that we would... I was merely pointing out a fact.

[TheDoc]

We should look at pictures of burning man and watch all the fat slobs falling all over each other....

I get the pictures, but to the proper event of today, you won't see a ton of fat people running around, just the random one or two, just like those pictures, while most seem to be some what in shape.
