The History Of What People Should Be Allowed To Eat At Home In The 1950's
Around the 1940’s and the 1950’s, children would go outdoors to play and run around. There was no such thing as technology, video games, smart phones, or tablets. In Attacking the Obesity Epidemic by First Figuring Out Its Cause, Jane E. Brody notes that when he was a kid, if he wanted ice cream he had to go walk or ride his bike a few blocks to go get some (6). Also, back then kids would eat cooked meals at home and when they would go out to eat they will consider eat a special event. Even though parents would work, they would still manage to go home and cook a well done meal to give to their kids. What people considered their transportation were their feet because walking was the way to go. There was so much exercise going on and now it seems
like we have to push kids to go outdoors and do something productive. Parents should be concerned about what their children eat and the way they exercise. It is important to keep children healthy so that they do not grow up and suffer about a disease like obesity.
