The younger gen of girls have let themselves go (or course I expect
the guys have too). Cruising up and down the Wakulla River yesterday
watching the young'uns swimming in the clear cold water, I expected to
see a few good lookin girls. We passed one boat full of kids and my
friend says, "Look at the babes on that boat", I reply, "I thought the
manatees were supposed to be in the water". Whatever happened to the
beautiful slender girls of my youth? The girls of my youth all had
flat tummies, not an ounce of fat and not a muffin top in sight.
Today, it looks like the strategic petroleum reserve in bikinis.

Unfortunately, even though you have a small sample, people, esp. kids
are having more and more weight problems. There's a biological reason
for it, as well as a social/economic element. More poor people tend to
eat lower quality food, which is higher in fat/sugar content.

I used to get out to FSU once in awhile to "use the library" but
nowadays parking is impossible so I gladly pay $30 for papers offa the
internet. I figure that the time saved is worth it but I dont get the
perk of watchin the girls.
HOWEVER, I still think they've gotten heftier mostly cuz they all got
cars now and don't get any exercise. We'd ride our bikes all the time
and as I worked as a bicycle mechanic, I could use that to meet
girls, "If you'd let me pump up that tire, it'd be a lot easier to
ride.....". Bein hotter than hell in Tallahassee, they'd wear as
little as possible too. The physics bldg overlooked a grassy area
over the particle accelerator where girls from a girls dorm would
sunbathe, not conducive to concentration. "Tutoring" was a great gig
and I could pick the best ones for multiple sessions.

BS to economic reasons. Poor diets, bad parenting. Staying in the Sea
Cliff Resort in Kona, and overall the people here are fat. Hell, I am about
20# extra in weight, but I am 6'4" and 68 years old. They make me look
trim. Vacation in Kona is not for the poor, but can not believe how many
fat people, and young fat at that. On the plane over, fat mom of about 40
maybe, ate nothing really healthy and her about 10 year old, was already
obese as well as dad. Younger brother had still not put on the extra
weight, but with a mom and dad who are obese and have no idea on dietary
needs, he is probably also going to fill out a lot.
