Someone on here a few months ago posted a pic of a beach somewhere in the US back in the 1950s; no fat people, period. hundreds of people, all basically in decent shape. The next pic was the same beach in 2015 or whatever; 80% or more just waddling fat pigs.

Kind of in the same vein, a buddy of mine used to be a Marine drill instructor and told me that when he started back in the late '90s more than half the recruits could pass the minimum physical fitness standard tests.

By the time he retired in the 2010s or so most could not. once, there was a group of recruits jumping out of the back of a truck, and some kid jumped and broke his ankle, just jumping out of the truck. I think he told me that they had to let them climb out of the trucks after that; no jumping allowed because they kept injuring themselves from the 4-foot drop or whatever.

How does a 20-something hurt themselves dropping 4 feet?
