I know a 61 yo guy who finds it hard to bend down to put clothes into the washer/dryer. He needs pedestals to raise up the machines.[/quote]
I predict a health crisis among the 10-20 yo set. I’m seeing pre-teens and teens who have got to be borderline diabetic (or actually diabetic) and likely already have clogged arteries. Some of them have a hard time just walking across the street to their bus stop.
Nevermind gym class.
Why do parents keep a lot of “junk” food around their houses and give their school-age kids “spending money” for more junk food during the day? Are they stupid??
These dumb parents are sending their kids to an early grave and making their young lives miserable (by proxy).
Even the majority of the 21-30 yo set is somewhat heavier than most of their parents.
It’s a good thing we now have expanded Medi-Cal in this state.
brian, your “friend” should get laundry machines in which the washer is top loading. They still exist. Even I wouldn’t buy those low-to-the-ground side-loading machines and I’m on the thin side and work out 5x week. They don’t do as good of a job washing/drying as the “old-school” styles and they’re too hard on the back. And who wants to spend an extra $350++ for “pedestals?” That “gimmick” seems like a huge waste of money to me … a pure profit center for the appliance companies, since they don’t have any moving parts to “break.”
