Lots of colleges where I live, for the most part they all look pretty good to me. They may not be athletes but not blimps walking around campus. I also go to Boston quite regularly to visit grad students on campus, they young'ns look pretty good. You may have been right some time back but I think things have changed, IMHO the young population is getting the message. Even at work I have noticed people are getting in better shape. We still have a few of out-of-shape middle aged men/women but gradually that seems to be changing. I think as our country drops to third world status we will see our population adopt a third world physique, thinner and willing to work harder.
