The Federal Government Takes on Physical Fitness
After World War II, many Americans worried that US citizens,
especially the young, were growing overweight and out of shape. The
nation's economy had changed dramatically, and with it the nature of
work and recreation changed. Mechanization had taken many farmers out
of the fields and much of the physical labor out of farm work. Fewer
factory jobs demanded heavy labor. Television required watching rather
than doing. Americans were beginning to confront a new image of
themselves and their country, and they did not always like what they
saw.
