Sometimes I´m glad that I´m old.

I was just reading a post about food and remembered that now people are afraid of eating or drinking so many things that I don´t know how they survive. Yet, in the other hand, they eat and drink so much junk food that even children are getting more obese each day. Leticia, my former maid and friend, is almost 70 years old and yet she still has a wonderful body. She ate everything until around 8 years ago when doctor found that she had diabetes. But all her family including her grandchildren are overweighed. When I was a child we ate a lot more. At lunch we had a salad, a soup and a main dish. Then came dessert. But it was never cake unless it was a birthday or a special holiday. Dessert meant fruit in season. I still remember how my mom counted the cherries so that we would not fight for the amount of them. We never had snacks but we were supposed to eat everything that we had in our plates. Along the years, mothers changed the dumb sentences that children had to hear about thinking about the hungry children of other parts of the world. Then, after school, we had to do our homework and then we could go out to play or ride in our bikes.Those were the wonderful days with no tablets. Still, at night, we had time to read. Do you have those memories?
