I was just a kid but I guess I just mean that people were more active outdoors. I used to see skateboarders and bmx people everywhere, baseball fields being used quite often, parents riding bikes on trails, families camping, that kinda stuff. I lived in Northern Virginia right near the Potomac River where the population was fairly dense so maybe that skewed my view of the world a bit.
We actually just had another fitness epidemic here similar to the 90s but slightly more gym related than outdoor related. Protein powder was HUGE on tiktok shop and fairly big in stores. I happen to be a target of the powder supplement as a medical issue caused me to start my journey in losing over 100lbs in less than a year. I was having overnight oats with extra protein everyday. I have some left but now that I’ve lost the weight and kept most of the muscle, I’m back on whole foods only, especially for protein.
Edit: if you look it up, theres’s a lot written about the “fitness influencer to right wing pipeline”
I actually successfully used it for zillow the other day just to find some info on a house near me.
I’ve thought about it a lot over the years and whittled my choice down to either Gimmelwald or Thun, Switzerland.
Haha! A lot of us know Robbie now. I feel like when his movie came out, Europe figured it would be recieved as well as a movie about Michael Jackson but it just didn’t work out that way.
