mr cunningham needed a diet


he was a little sloppy in stomach

reply

That was part of his character.

reply

of course he needed a diet but this was the era of heavy smoking in the land known for beer and cheese when people knew very little about heart disease.

reply

By the late 1950s a lot was known about heart disease. Most young men were skinny, but had plumped out by middle age because most adults hadn't exercised since their last PE class in high school, or military basic training.

they still had a different food diet than we do today (four food groups). And yes they exercised much more compared to us. They had to get up to change the channel
