Be careful. Anytime you hear some old person talk about how things are better in the good old days, they probably weren't. It's probably just a bad memory. But there is one thing that was a lot better in the olden days. In 1980, I turned 18 years old and I had a 31 inch waist. Now there was nothing remarkable about that. That's what everyone had back then, at least that I knew things are different now. When I was a kid, you go to an ice cream store, you would ask for an ice cream, you would get a scoop of ice cream just a little bit larger than this. This past weekend I took my 7 year old daughter to an ice cream store. I asked for the kid, not the small portion. I asked for the kiddie portion. I got a dish this size, it would have fit about four golf balls worth of ice cream. This is one of the biggest reasons why we have an epidemic in in obesity. You've got to watch portion sizes.
