I was randomly watching a the 1982ish movie Mr. Mom this weekend (exciting weekend I know), and there's this scene in a board room that's just filled with smoke, and pizza, and dumpy looking middle aged guys. It seems like it was pretty much everyone back then used to live in rooms filed with smoke at home, at the office, ate terribly, were probably drunk half the time. I feel like I don't do enough for my health but I'd be an absolute weirdo health nut if transported back to 1982. It's weird because even though so many more people are seemingly at least somewhat concerned about health now, we're also way more obese as a country than we were then. I remember 1982 a little bit - and I don't think we had nearly as many runners, general fitness gyms (as opposed to "weight room" gyms), yoga, vegetarians, etc, than we do now. Now, normal average people are involved in that kind of stuff, where in 1982 is was more fringe. So what the hell's going on? Why so many fatties?
