They got a lot of exercise back then; and not so much junk food.

Kept thinking to myself: every living thing in this footage has passed on. Grants me some perspective.

There were some overweight people, but not nearly as many as you see today. In 1911 there were few cars, no television, no Internet, good quality food was cheap, and most food was fresh.

Nowadays you have 500 channels, high speed Internet, 4G wireless phones, everything cheap to eat comes in a box or a bag, and you’re consuming more unpronounceable chemicals in a meal than likely even existed then. People have no reason to manually labor. Handouts are abundant on the backs of those who toil.
