Thanks for all that info about Carter. Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember all that fitness stuff.
I think it was in the 70s here in Canada that the gov't started the "participaction" campaign, designed to get Canadians into fitness. People really weren't into fitness very much back then; it seemed to peak in the 80s, now everyone is back to being slobs. I blame that on the whole slacker/ computer culture, which has made it cool to be pasty, pudgy and eat crappy food. Say what we want about annoying baby boomers, but it was their demographic that started the whole fitness craze.
