Yes but when they retired in the 1960s aged 65 they were all bent double.And hardly anyone was fat, never mind obese, or had T2 diabetes.

And yet most people were dead by 70/75 were now they live well into their 90's, and I'm betting the higher standard of food plays a big part in thatAnd hardly anyone was fat, never mind obese, or had T2 diabetes.
For past twenty years they've been eating junk. That will take a while to feed through the system and alter the stats back down.And yet most people were dead by 70/75 were now they live well into their 90's, and I'm betting the higher standard of food plays a big part in that
All before breakfast, time when men were men and women were glad on em.Would it be anything to do with the type of work they we did, digging drains with a pick and shovel , loading bales with a pitchfork , unloading lorries , forking silage out of pits , cutting hedges with a hand hook , no quads , it just goes on , at 14 I had muscles like on steroids
Think is health care ,And yet most people were dead by 70/75 were now they live well into their 90's, and I'm betting the higher standard of food plays a big part in that
School dinner mince had bits of veins visible in it and other rubbery stuff that seemed to make one's jaw bounce apart when chewing it.
Did he really buy her a milking stool? She must have been keen. I dont think my dad managed that,but probably bought plenty tea towels with a picture of Llandudno and Caenarfon Castle on them(from the trip out with the Male Voice Choir)Everyone was universal in those days , like the oil was , oils a nightmare now, when mum got married dad bought her a milking stool

Have to say really not missing 10 ton load of of fertiliser turning up in 1 cwt bags with no forklifts in those days! Or West of England corn sacks weighing 11/2 cwt or 75 kgs, boy were they heavy picking them up off the floor after the combine had dropped them off.How did you lift your slag and firtilzer then , how did you move your milk churns and move your hay bales, your corn sacks, needed plenty of fuel though , big dinners followed by a large portion of spotty dick
You had choice?School dinner liver, now there's a biology lesson. Even then, not many chose it. Me, anything like that was no problem and good nourishment even if one day as it was ladled out, I swear the veins around the liver were hiding the gall bladder...
How things have changed
If we had a poorly sheep the butcher would have it and it would go for school dinners.You had choice?
At my primary....as at home...it was what was dished up or go without.

higher standard of medical care now , despite a worse diet of reclaimed meat , sugars and god knows what else , most people smoked back then as wellAnd yet most people were dead by 70/75 were now they live well into their 90's, and I'm betting the higher standard of food plays a big part in that
Yeah! putting it on the floor, only to pick it up again a month laterRemember unloading 12 ton of fert 1cwt bags
