I’ve got a street scene in Chester on ciné film which Dad shot c. 1963. 45 seconds of people. Lots of people, fewer cars. And not a single one was remotely overweight, let alone fat. In the UK incidence of childhood diabetes has increased from 3.84 per 100,000 in the decade 1951-1960. It’s now 204.5 per 100,000. A 5,225% increase.

Btw, never donate to medical research charities. All you are doing is subsidising big pharma, which is where all the money ends up. Straight to their bottom line.
