In 5 years, Mother will be telling poor Janie she's "filled out" too much. Also, the Quaker guy looks even creepier than he does today.

Egads, the Quaker man is a lot creepier!
How the times have changed though. Now, it seems like gaining weight is always a bad thing.

yes- can you imagine if oatmeal were advertised today as helping to put on weight? now it's all about fiber and filling and lowering cholesterol.
