The statistics of childhood obesity are getting to be rather scary because they have tripled in the last 40 years! When we were young, there was rarely a youngster who was fat. That is because we ate just enough of food to fill our bellies, and never over ate because that would make us sleepy and lethargic, during our lunch hour play session. Also, at that time, our parents were interested in making sure that we had good nourishing food to eat at regular times. We never skipped a meal. We never ate between meals, because munching between meals was considered the activity of kids who did not have anything constructive to do and that is why they wanted to do to keep themselves occupied. And so we never suffered from malnutrition or overfeeding.Also, there was one habit, which would not be compromised, upon, under any circumstance. Meals always had to be taken at the dinner table among the family members, gathered at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was astonished to see a large number of modern-day 21st-century parents saying that they really did not have the time to eat meals with their children because they were either working, or they really could not manage this bit of time out in communication with their children. We definitely did not know about that idiotic psychological lifestyle babble called quality time, which is now being used by parents, in order to show that they are caring parents, and they spend 15 minutes a day, talking to their children.
