But you can say that with other diseases/illnesses. That arguement has been going on for a long time. To say that if everyone in the US was fit my insurance would go down, I do not believe. I am not saying it is correct to be obese either.
Concerning strollers, I believe a large part of the problem is that Disney has changed its target market. It's gotten appreciably younger.
There once was a time when a Disney movie was fine for a 10 or 12 year old. Not anymore. Just imagine most 12 years olds watching Finding Nemo or Monsters U. Compare that to earlier decades when Disney brand movies included 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Escape To Witch Mountain, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Love Bug, or even Mary Poppins. Disney aimed for an older crowd at a time when children were allowed to remain children longer.
I recall reading (not sure if it's true) that WDW originally was targeted more towards families with junior high children. Certainly, there was nothing childlike about EPCOT when it first opened in 1982. My recollection of WDW during the 1970s and 1980s is of a fairly small toddler crowd. It was mostly older children and their families. WDW then started targeting "adults only" in the late 1980s and 1990s. (DW and I spent our 1st Anniversary at WDW.
There are so many more strollers at WDW today in large part because WDW's visitors have gotten younger.
Yes, and by agreeing to that, by extension lets ban everyone who's never ran a theme park or even a business from sharing their thoughts on how Disney is ran...
Yea, I love when the big strollers are being loaded onto WDW buses and I get hit in the leg shins by them.
Well, some of that is cause and effect. Aging lessens the appetite for rich foods and food in general. Many of the thin 80 year olds you see now, once were obese. My point was not that obesity is healthy, my point was that the very idea of physical health being controllable to any workable degree is just not working for me. Yes, you might be able to sidestep some illnesses as I have been fortunate enough to do for quite a while now, but I have never kidded myself that this was all pure luck and nothing more (maybe good genes). Thin people shouldn't get overly smug about there state of condition either. I am at the age now where I check the obits daily, not to be morbid, but in case someone I know has passed, I will be aware of it. I haven't seen anymore photo's of people that fell under the category of (died unexpectedly) that were obese as were thin. Those who think that running everyday will necessarily lengthen ones life may just be playing a fools game. The difference is that those with targeted problems are more conscience of that possibility then those that don't.
Totally different things. If you have kids, you know that's not an apples to apples comparison. If you don't, let the floggings commence!
What about 50 year olds in strollers spoonfeeding themselves Dippin' Dots WHILE smoking?
Btw, that is from USF before HHNs last FRi. night.
OK, I hate to be a broken record about this but, geez, here are two people sitting quietly out of the way, minding their own business for some reason you found it novel enough to take a picture of. Why? What harm were they doing to you. What terrible thing that is happening to you are they responsible for. I'm amazed that you didn't mention the cooler back there. At least for an obvious lack of anything worthwhile to mention about them...they did provide you with a laugh or two.What about 50 year olds in strollers spoonfeeding themselves Dippin' Dots WHILE smoking?

I believe the cooler contains their insulin dessert.
I didn't take their photo for a laugh. I don't find it funny at all. I do think the picture alone is relevant social commentary. And if I had to bet money, I bet there is insulin in the cooler, not food.
OK, maybe insulin AND food.
No, I was actually thinking that their cooler contains insulin. Not a joke. If someone made guess what was in that cooler I would have said insulin.
