I'm a student of history and I know that each generation thinks "oh, the kids these days" but that is just about them being wacky and fresh - not lazy and fat.
Even though folks have always said things like this, it doesn't change the facts that YES kids are extremely fat and lazy slackers these days. The boys are being pussyfied and hardly any of them work or do hard physical labor. How many 16 year olds ride their bikes 5 miles to go wash dishes in a restaurant for minimum wage these days? This was extremely common when I was a kid. Pretty rare these days.
