This will get you lot going: My parents were born less than three months apart Dec 28 1923 Mar 16 1924 -so they both spent their childhoods in the Great Depression. Anyway thats just for context - growing up I was ways stick thin - underweight if anything, got comments like you could use those ribs for a xylophone. Didnt start putting weight on till late teens when I had a future mum in law who fried a lot of stuff and thought you werent being fed if food wasnt falling off the plate before you started - and a girlfriend who liked going for meals and spending evenings in front of the fire. So - what this is leading to - these days Im in need of losing weight and I was thinking that when I was a kid we didnt starve; it was smaller portions granted, mum used to count the sprouts to make sure everyone had the same (must have been than Depression childhood and WWII rationing in her teens/ early 20s) but we had three good meals a day and for all my skinniness I was as fit as a butchers dog. So folks, suggestions please for my new retro diet of meat and two veg, sausage and mash, bubble n squeak or owt else you can remember before the days of pizza pasta and Jamie Oliver because if all these flash dishes we eat these days are so healthy how come we have an obesity crisis? Old fashioned meal tips folks - over to you :)
