You can also look back at photos of people in the 70s from various cultures. We’ve become fatter overall because of processed food and reduced exercise.

    that's an effect of the demographic transition. society stopped having a dozen kids each so maybe three or four make it to 20. now they expect all (or nearly all) to survive to adulthood.

    Alright , alright, alright. What's the fastest disease we can spread to kill children? We need something where if one kid leaves a room, another kid can walk into the room an hour later and catch the disease. Something that can infect a whole school basically at once.

    Any ideas? What's the fastest spreading disease you can think of?
