But some 20-25 years ago and I am not telling about my childhood time (too old), a fat girl or boy in a class of 40 students was an exception and, as a rule, suffering from bad metabolism. We played soccer and hockey, basketball and voleyball, ping - pong and so on, swam in lakes... In school I generally ate for lunch a half-dozen meatballs (there were like 25% meat and 75% bread) with mashed potatoes or rice, then a slice of bread and a glass of yellowish tea with a teaspoon of sugar in it. Back home there was a full dinner (by 4 PM or smth) with a soup and chiken, some other meat or fish, a famous kompot (boiled dried fruit beverage) or milk or kefir.
Nowadays maybe I simply don`t know
