    Since the food is worse nowadays, how would you go about getting better quality food?

    Genuine question.

    If you stay away from junk food, sugar products like candy and ready made products you're going to be fine. And eat whole grain instead of white bread etc.

    People with a decent income can definitely eat healthy today, no problem. The problem is that low income household tend to give their kids way too much fast food and ready made products and candy and soda. Kids also stay in front of screens instead of running around.

    I was born in 1975 in Sweden. When I grew up pizza and hamburgers were things you ate a couple of times a year. Soda, ice cream and candy was also something you had for more festives occasions or the occasional Saturday evening ("Saturday candy" is still a thing here). And he we had two friggin TV channels - VCR, home computers and cable TV only really started coming around when we were reaching out teens - so we had to play sports in the parking lot or in the play ground to keep busy, or play with sticks and bows in the woods nearby or ride our bikes or go and have a swim if it was summer. Doesn't at all seem long ago, but the reality is different for kids growing up today.

    His accent is fascinating. He almost sounds Welsh. (At least to me. Maybe members from the UK will laugh their "arses" off at this.)

    Ali was very honest on his opinions on older fighters....that's why I believe that Ali was serious when he said that Marciano would have given him a tough fight.
