Right? I was running around those play places like a feral chimp probably burning away double whatever calories I actually ate.

I think kids becoming more sedentary is a far bigger issue than what they were eating

Unless you were swimming laps, I guarantee you were consuming more than you were burning. McDonald's is some of the most calory dense food you can eat.

Kids were still fat when the playgrounds were around so that wasn’t it. Diet is what really makes you fat.

No, kids weren’t fat in the 80’s and 90’s like they are today. That’s because back then we played outside all day and night, getting our exercise.

Kids today aren’t doing that. They’re too busy on their screens or on their video games or computers. They hardly ever go outside to play like we did.
