I'm still looking for his address. No luck as of yet finding Bill. I'd sure love to see him again. (By the way, that was a very creative/insightful remark)
When he said Bill "mistreated his stomach all day" I felt really guilty... when I'm eating like a pig, that's exactly what I'm doing: mistreating myself. I never thought about it like that 😔
If you ate organic and raw more often (fruits and veges) I guarantee you, you will feel so full,that you won't need to stuff. We only stuff when we are nutritionally deprived, through eating junk food usually.
Except this is 1951, this video is modern of its time. There were different kinds of insanity at the time. Problem is that people judge the past by todays standards. I find back then, people were more straight to the point. Today its justifying anything.
@@xfloodcasual8124 The videos are just old. They are after school specials, trying to get people to do what is right. Some of them are very corny, but I'll take that over the modern world. Also, the 1950's was the real world. You are basically basing your views of that time period to what Hollywood tells you it was. The modern times are oppressive to regular people. I guess it's great if you are a weirdo though.
Even though I was born in 1956 I remeber the serenity of the times. Milk, eggs, and butter were delivered. My mom hanging wash on the clothesline. Hand washing the dishes and she would put the dishes away in the mornings while making coffee. Dinner was at 6pm everyday and always made from scratch. I miss the simple times. There was kindness, decency, courtesy, caring about each other.
@@shelleyjames4446 Very well said. Your way of life is what you make of it. Yes, there's a lot of modern stuff around, but we still have the choice whether to use it unless it's absolutely necessary.
@goddoesnotexist5688 My grandmother still speaks of those days fondly. She said even though things were difficult for black people, the overall quality of life was better. Better food, better family, better neighbors.
That happened to me many times at school, my mother would buy milk but I wanted juice 🧃, so I would get 2 aed ($ 0.54) for juice at the cafeteria, and i would drink milk first because to make my mother know I drank it then juice after a couple of minutes I got a bad stomachache and I have learned to never drink milk and juice one after the other.
That's funny, because I have cereals with milk, followed by a glass of orange juice every day, with no problems at all! Orange juice is commonly drunk at breakfast!

These days, this is called Mindful Eating Practice, which is what my dietitian is getting me to do instead of rushing through meals and eating while watching Netflix. I’ve ended up feeling better and eating the appropriate amount for my body. Clearly they knew what they were talking about in the 1950s.
We are a differnt species! Present-day Africans trace up to 19% of their genetic ancestry to an extinct archaic hominid species, such as Homo erectus, not found in the DNA of present-day Asians or Caucasians!"The ethnic groups tested differed significantly from one another in reported perceived taste intensity. Our results showed that Hispanics and African Americans rated taste sensations higher than non-Hispanic Whites and that these differences were more pronounced in males." You mad beastoid?
My biggest meal is breakfast its also linked to lower weight and im 120 and have been that weight for years. I do larger breakfast low carb and mainly meat eggs nuts fruit/veg
Hi Lisa. You must be under the age of 30 to ask such a question. Now-a-days, of course, people eat whatever they feel like and whenever they feel like, and in the largest portions they can get. However, back when this film was made, portion control was a major way of eating to keep weight gain under control, and so was lots of exercise, such as housekeeping, bowling, gardening, etc. People weren't stuck in front of electronic gadgets for 12-15 hours a day, gaining weight. Diabetes was very low as compared to today's statics. You wouldn't have been in a coma because your body would have been used to ingesting those delicious types of food and you would have been more active to help your body process them properly.
Don't skip meals. Don't eat in-between meals. Don't eat at night. Watch your portions. Eat the right amounts from each food group. Eat treats sometimes and in small amounts. Eat mindfully and not while on technology. Take at least 20 minutes to eat each meal. Avoid processed foods. Drink plenty of water. Don't be sedentary. Break up sitting with movement.
These videos are calming and reassuring because they aren't built around the post-modern nonsense that says "truth is relative". These videos give definitive and direct advice and aren't afraid to make judgement calls; the advice is based on producing a desirable outcome that is presumed everyone already agrees on.
Dude, I'm all about truth seeking and yet I'm finding it strange that these were a thing. Like... why? Why was this part of public education and how did it effect the expectations of what schools "should" be having to teach your kids? That's all besides the fact that if you just took out either the orange juice or the milk and then the crap ton of sugar, this kid woulda felt fine lol. I've always wondered why it is that my generation (younger side of millennials) always worship the word of teachers over their parents, especially now with the sexual bullcrap they're putting on kids in kindergarten. Now I'm starting to learn about different curriculums at different times in our history annnndd, gotta say, I'm not as impressed with the 50s as ai thought I would be. I'd rather my kid be allowed to ask their questions and know they're getting a trustworthy, caring answer that has all the truth in it, not have their question smacked down as "disrespectful" like the gov. is doing to us now.
@@agent_k9508 These exist because of WWI, WWII, and later the Vietnam War. So many fathers were either overseas or died during this period. And women were often in the worforce to replace the men who couldn't work in neccessary manufacturing fields. Which made people nervous because they weren't at home with the kids. While that all sounds normal and largely unproblematic to us, the government at the time was worried that kids weren't receiving enough education at home reguarding grooming, eating, dating, first jobs, and/or moral behavior. Sort of like in the 90s when the government was concerned about how divorce being legalized would effect the values and well-being of children. What the people who made these films didn't realize is that the "poor" appearance and behaviors they were seeing were actually a result of how class distintion was begining to break down for the first time. As the economy changed, people without generaltional weath were eating out, attending schools, enjoying hobbies, and taking holidays that they never would have been able to do before workers rights and more reasonable pay was established. Which meant that important politicians and other wealthy business owners were actually exposed to how the average person behaves for the first time. This was further compounded by the fact the "weekends" has just become a reality. And so, citizens with lower economic class has the time to be in public spaces more than they ever could before. So, the film industry made these to "correct the problem". Often in ways that would push the manners of high class blue-bloods onto the masses. Schools and theatres allowed them to maximize their impact and practically guaranteed that virtually every child in America would see them. With the obvious exception of those facing the cruelty of segregated schools. Whom the manufacturers were rarely exposed too and did not care about "helping". Please don't think of this as my condoning or condeming the practice. I'm simply providing some context, becaus you asked why they made these at all.
@@Thehouseoffail thank you so much for the info. I had no clue that these 'proper' behavior they were teaching were actually to make the lower class folks tolerable on the eyes of the rich since they had started to have access to all the general ease and entertainment that only rich people had access to before.

I was lucky enough to have family meals. And my mom was a housemaker. We need more classic families. It's sad that so many people don't have the classic family.
wurlitzergroup To be honest I hate talking at the table, I just hate talking about my day or the food because it is fake to me, it honestly makes me bored and I have misophonia so I hate hearing eating noises and the noises that are made by plates and utensils.
Tori Monique 6:19 Left side of the screen. They are not real bugs but something on the film itself.. Once you see them you see them during the whole video
I can't remember having breakfast together as a family during the week at all. Our morning schedules were just too different. Dinner was another matter. Family dinners were a must until I was about half-way through junior high. After that, they sort of fell by the wayside. In high school I started eating breakfast as well as lunch at school. After school there were various activities like creative writing and drama club. For dinner I'd grab a sandwich on the way home, or heat up some leftovers. Then came homework and bedtime. My brother did the same when he got older. Dad came home late from work, too. Looking back, it felt like we became more like a group of boarders than a family. Now those days are long gone, and I can't change them. Dinners with mom, dad and brother are even rarer these days, because I live abroad and can only visit them once a year or so. My point is, don't repeat our mistake. Meals with whatever family you have are precious, so have them whenever you can, and don't take them for granted, because once that time is gone, you can never get it back.
Shiboline M'Ress Thank you for the advice. My Dad always wants us to eat dinner together and lunch on Sundays. Often I work until late but he insists on waiting for me. It's a habit I want to keep once I have my own family.
My family and I never eat dinner together but we always spend the evening together and my siblings and I hangout at the pool place and park together. We're close, so dinner isn't the only thing that connects a family.
Thanks for sharing this, I’m 32 and a husband with three kids. We do our best to gather at the table every night. Very difficult when kids are acting up, but we know there is value in coming together. Thanks for the encouragement.
The bottle had a refund so you ran back to the store to get some more candy as far as a bit of paper here or there who really cares nicely done Bill , yes that paper is bio degradable so no worries
Yes, but sadly, the women back then looked like they were 60 years old by the time they were 30. Was it the clothes? The hair? The makeup? Too much bacon? Not sure…
@Untrepid One But we have a food industry that lets us eat like kings and princes back when they were more common. Before the industrialisation of food production regular people couldn't afford to eat things like meat and cheese every day. Imagine a regular farmer family. Could they afford to kill a chicken or two every day? Most likely not. And they definitely didn't have access to non-regional fruit and products. So we don't need to have their money to be able to eat like them (and better), at least in quality. And I don't think that saying implies we actually stuff ourselves like some fat kings did.
Doesn't work at all when one has severe food allergies, and can eat only two meals a day at the absolute best of times, but usually only one meal a day. That bizarre "royal" principle went out the window at least a decade ago, anyhow.
We are watching a time so long ago, that Bill would be over 80 years old today. Yet it somehow feels so familiar, like a dream. Everything is so different now, but in some ways the same. If you know any old folks, it would be a treasure to ask them what it was like. Because soon everyone who lived at this time will be gone, and all will be left are these fragments of culture.
"And do you think he ate enough?" YES! I don't feel sorry for Bill I feel sorry for his mom who had to wake up an hour and a half earlier than everyone else to get all that on the table. Not to mention they obviously have some kind of demon running up the inside of their wallpaper.
Don't feel sorry for his mother. It was her joy and it was her meaningful work to care for her family. She wasn't forced to sit behind a keyboard all day punching in meaningless and trivial crap for some corporate entity. People have become taught wrongly about healthy beautiful family life! Careerism is a false promise. Caring for the health and well-being of others is important work!
My mom used to get up at 5:00 am every morning so she could get ready for the day and enjoy a cup of coffee before she made breakfast for the whole family. We always ate good back then and got plenty of exercise playing outside. I really miss those days
This film was made a year before I was born. However, while watching it now, I recognize some of the scenes and narration--I probably watched this nearly 60 years ago in school!
I watched this with my mom once, and the whole time she dragged me and started laughing about me constantly eating too fast 😅😅 She said I needed this, and was probably right
Everyone calm down about the amount of food. It's a dollop of hot wheat in the world's tiniest little dish, one egg, one skinny strip of bacon, the century's smallest square of toast, 4oz of probably unsweetened orange juice in basically a shot-glass, and a short tumbler of thin watery milk. If you triple or quadruple everything he ate it would maybe count as one modern "breakfast sandwich." The tall cup of melted chocolate ice cream that you call your morning "coffee" easily has more sugar than his pop, candy, and cookie combined. And the plastic disposable cup you drink from is worse for the environment even properly disposed, than the glass and paper he tossed on the street. But for real he shouldn't have littered lol
We didn't eat breakfast together as a family very often during my school days,but supper together was an absolute must. I think that simple step, and not allowing devices to distract from true reconnection with your family, would help a great deal. It's amazing how much the simple step of hearing about each other's day leads to family unity.
This is really educational for today as well. A build up of gerds, trapped gas, intestinal issues when you continuously gulp down your food. More so when you’re not chewing your food thoroughly..
We ate like that daily and very few people other than some older adults even had a weight problem. We ate good, played hard, worked hard and lived good! Miss that good and normal life!
Yea, they made us eat fast too, it was in 90something some years after commies got away, there was not so much food. Unlike today i got fat i always overeat, but than i learned eating slower and weight got off.
My parents educated me well and warned me about simple things in life (food, relationship, puberty,sexuality, good manner, danger of the world) same for school, don't wait for a voice form an old TV show to tell your child how to behave (when he is at age to understand those videos) tell him, show him, do it yourself and the child will do it to by mimetism, I will not wait for my child to go to school or to understand to just show him how to be a good person and take care of his health.
Oh, so that's why I have a lot of stomach aches. I have to make room to eat right, that's why at supper I ain't hungry. It's a drag to eat slow...but I have to, and make more energy while eating less and slow. Nice video! I learned something.
who is Billy smiling at when hes eating, because no-one smiled back? who the f. pauses eating just to smile about their juice 3 times?🤣 i still subbed cos these old vids are great!
I think he stopped because glugging your drink isn't good for you and he smiled at mother in the breaks because he was trying to be spiteful to her for making him eat slowly the little brick
Kelly Tyler The fifties was kind of an artificial ideal created by unprecedented prosperity. Historically speaking it was unusual for women to have the luxury of being a stay at home housewife, and the nuclear family is not traditional but rather a construct that benefits capitalism while cutting white folks off from their extended family.
All I can think of is Aunt Bee telling Opie "Don't bolt your food." It's true that if you eat too fast, you take in a lot of air which makes you feel bad until it comes out of one end or the other, or both.
This is crazy to me because i always use to wonder why i would constantly get stomach aches, and even still do when im older, but after watching this it makes a lot sense since i just stuff food down my mouth.
I find it interesting how similar these videos from the 50's, aimed at the general public are to something you might find in special education instruction in modern times.
I miss having meals with my family esp. now that my parents are gone. Nowadays, people don't value meal time, we just go on with our lives doing trivial and not so important things.

Crazy eyes😂

*Bill’s enjoying it*
Kids were really smiley during the 50s
Grown ups need to pay attention to this as well. Dinner should be a time of relaxation, of fellowship.
I was lucky enough to have family meals. And my mom was a housemaker. We need more classic families. It's sad that so many people don't have the classic family.
Fascinating to see a family eat breakfast together. And talk to each other instead of into their hands. I love it!
wurlitzergroup To be honest I hate talking at the table, I just hate talking about my day or the food because it is fake to me, it honestly makes me bored and I have misophonia so I hate hearing eating noises and the noises that are made by plates and utensils.
Misophonia at the dinner table messed my childhood up, but I wonder what causes it and why nobody seemed to have it back in the old days?
oh, misophonia is awful! i used to have it quite bad when i was younger, i have eaten in my bedroom rather than the table ever since
Dad’s in the 50’s wearing shirt and tie at the table. Those days are long gone (if they ever really existed in the first place)
Did the cameraman just crash at the end?
Bill needs to stop seeking approval at breakfast lol
Was his mother "food-shaming" Bill?! Gasp! No she was trying to save him from killing himself with stuffing.
sojourner I feel like they were talking more about Billy smiling and looking around the whole time lol 😂
Lmao
@@jaycookie2912 LOL I know! He acted like he had never tasted food before... Like every mouthful was the most happiest moment of his life!
Back in the days we all knew that bacon and cigarettes was a good diet.
i hate to admit that an informational video from 70 years ago taught me something at 15, yet here I am
9:43 "And THAT ..."
And that WHAT??? The suspense is killing me!
Maybe Billy feels sick from the plague he contracted from the bugs in his home climbing the walls.
So glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed.
Kerry Raterink Same here. I was horrified.. Nobody was commenting. 😮
Lol where can you time stamp it?
Tori Monique 6:19 Left side of the screen. They are not real bugs but something on the film itself.. Once you see them you see them during the whole video
Those are the slugs from an episode of Angel
I can't remember having breakfast together as a family during the week at all. Our morning schedules were just too different. Dinner was another matter. Family dinners were a must until I was about half-way through junior high. After that, they sort of fell by the wayside. In high school I started eating breakfast as well as lunch at school. After school there were various activities like creative writing and drama club. For dinner I'd grab a sandwich on the way home, or heat up some leftovers. Then came homework and bedtime. My brother did the same when he got older. Dad came home late from work, too. Looking back, it felt like we became more like a group of boarders than a family. Now those days are long gone, and I can't change them. Dinners with mom, dad and brother are even rarer these days, because I live abroad and can only visit them once a year or so. My point is, don't repeat our mistake. Meals with whatever family you have are precious, so have them whenever you can, and don't take them for granted, because once that time is gone, you can never get it back.
Shiboline M'Ress Thank you for the advice. My Dad always wants us to eat dinner together and lunch on Sundays. Often I work until late but he insists on waiting for me. It's a habit I want to keep once I have my own family.
💙💙💙
My family and I never eat dinner together but we always spend the evening together and my siblings and I hangout at the pool place and park together. We're close, so dinner isn't the only thing that connects a family.
Yeah, those wonderful family dinners where my dad would be very sarcastic if I dared get a second helping of something
Thanks for sharing this, I’m 32 and a husband with three kids. We do our best to gather at the table every night. Very difficult when kids are acting up, but we know there is value in coming together. Thanks for the encouragement.
it's cool that they were realistic with meals and even though the food wasn't specifically health food it was still described as good food
It was good food. Todays so called health food is not good for you and look at the obesity rate compared to those days.
This is the kind of film I remember seeing in school when I was a kid in the 1960s. This one sure brings back the memories.
Bill got drafted, went to Vietnam and hopefully survived.
He was Private Ryan
My grandma was in the vietnam war ill ask him if he knows a bill😂
My stepfather’s name is Bill and he was drafted into the Vietnam war.
@@aprilpinkard9929 Bill was a common name back then, he'll most likely know 3 or 4 Bills.
He's a ginger so he'll be ok
Chew your toast thoroughly. That's the way. Chew and chew. Doesn't it taste extra good that way?
What about that bacon?
Well maybe there are better ways to cut it
But when you eat it in small bits you can chew it better.
this comment showed at the exact moment this happened in the video
민하 강 omg yesss hahaha wtf
Bill needs an Oscar nod for that performance 🎭
I watch these to Relax & teach the Grandkids. Also to remember what Dignity, Good Manners & Good Sense, plus real Class looks like! Miss it! 💅💕
Bill is actually Cathy's father. The girl who wouldn't eat her breakfast in 1972.
🤣🤣😂 I guess Bill forgot his lessons and didn't pass his healthful eating habits on. Now we finally know why Cathy won't eat!
@@pennydreadful4939 And all this time I thought Cathy was trolling us.
Bill is such a bad father
Cathy is indoasian that would be a stretch
Cathy who?
Bill littered his trash on to the ground.
Bad habit.
That is what littering is; throwing trash on the ground.
It was 70 years ago........... let it go.
Myrtle Q. Urkel are you going to say that under every littering comment?
@@tannawannavannabittannawan7138 70 years ago, so the trash is still around somewhere
The bottle had a refund so you ran back to the store to get some more candy as far as a bit of paper here or there who really cares nicely done Bill , yes that paper is bio degradable so no worries
These videos make me realize how lazy our society has become.
nah. we work more than ever
Mom and dad always said, no elbows on the table, eat slowly and enjoy each bite 😊
I really admire Bill's mom....she looks so cool, calm and collected.
0:37 - Fire from her head.
LilZebra 😂😂🤣🤣
Mooooooo
Quaaludes
Yes, but sadly, the women back then looked like they were 60 years old by the time they were 30. Was it the clothes? The hair? The makeup? Too much bacon? Not sure…
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
@Untrepid One But we have a food industry that lets us eat like kings and princes back when they were more common. Before the industrialisation of food production regular people couldn't afford to eat things like meat and cheese every day. Imagine a regular farmer family. Could they afford to kill a chicken or two every day? Most likely not. And they definitely didn't have access to non-regional fruit and products.
So we don't need to have their money to be able to eat like them (and better), at least in quality. And I don't think that saying implies we actually stuff ourselves like some fat kings did.
Eve Sal Exactly!
Doesn't work at all when one has severe food allergies, and can eat only two meals a day at the absolute best of times, but usually only one meal a day. That bizarre "royal" principle went out the window at least a decade ago, anyhow.
@@jb6712 In France breakfast like a pauper and lunch like a king is the norm. Lunch breaks from school and work are typically 2 hours long.
It’s refreshing to hear supper instead of dinner
We are watching a time so long ago, that Bill would be over 80 years old today. Yet it somehow feels so familiar, like a dream. Everything is so different now, but in some ways the same. If you know any old folks, it would be a treasure to ask them what it was like. Because soon everyone who lived at this time will be gone, and all will be left are these fragments of culture.
"And do you think he ate enough?"
YES! I don't feel sorry for Bill I feel sorry for his mom who had to wake up an hour and a half earlier than everyone else to get all that on the table.
Not to mention they obviously have some kind of demon running up the inside of their wallpaper.
Hahahahhaha I kept noticing that also.
ewe 😲 that was a rat🐁!!! 🤢
🐁 @ 2:34 🤢
Don't feel sorry for his mother. It was her joy and it was her meaningful work to care for her family. She wasn't forced to sit behind a keyboard all day punching in meaningless and trivial crap for some corporate entity. People have become taught wrongly about healthy beautiful family life! Careerism is a false promise. Caring for the health and well-being of others is important work!
My mom used to get up at 5:00 am every morning so she could get ready for the day and enjoy a cup of coffee before she made breakfast for the whole family. We always ate good back then and got plenty of exercise playing outside. I really miss those days
Bet let’s talked about how bill is a gentleman as well he pulled out the chair and pushed it back in for his mother how cute
Ami Amilicious today that would be considered sexist 😂
@@bendietrees Not really, only extremists would think being gentlemen is sexist. They're minority.
Manners FTW

This film was made a year before I was born. However, while watching it now, I recognize some of the scenes and narration--I probably watched this nearly 60 years ago in school!
I watched this with my mom once, and the whole time she dragged me and started laughing about me constantly eating too fast 😅😅 She said I needed this, and was probably right
I'm not only here for the lesson. I'm here for the way the narrator speaks too. Its so relaxing.
Everyone calm down about the amount of food. It's a dollop of hot wheat in the world's tiniest little dish, one egg, one skinny strip of bacon, the century's smallest square of toast, 4oz of probably unsweetened orange juice in basically a shot-glass, and a short tumbler of thin watery milk. If you triple or quadruple everything he ate it would maybe count as one modern "breakfast sandwich." The tall cup of melted chocolate ice cream that you call your morning "coffee" easily has more sugar than his pop, candy, and cookie combined. And the plastic disposable cup you drink from is worse for the environment even properly disposed, than the glass and paper he tossed on the street. But for real he shouldn't have littered lol
The butter he put on his toast is a more natural food compared to the margarine people use today.
orlando angel agree, it wasn't that much food, besides I don't believe he was as sedentary as many of us are today
Kid is pudgy.
Boy, you're a smug one aren't you? I do none of those things, so shut up
Not to mention all the walking and running. Bill wasn’t driven to school or on his iPad all day.
Bill was definitely a pioneer
He was into wasting food before it became acceptable
The dude is definitely a forward thinker
We didn't eat breakfast together as a family very often during my school days,but supper together was an absolute must. I think that simple step, and not allowing devices to distract from true reconnection with your family, would help a great deal. It's amazing how much the simple step of hearing about each other's day leads to family unity.
Bills problem is hes the only Irish kid in an Italian family, his stomach cant handle the awesome food!
smadge100 lmao
Aunt Dutie ikr?😂
Lol
Shhh Billy doesn't know he's adopted from his dad's mistress.
Kawaii Baby same I’m Irish and we have an iron stomach , I’ve never gotten sick before
6:04 HE HELPED HIS MOM WITH THE CHAIR that’s so cute
This is really educational for today as well.
A build up of gerds, trapped gas, intestinal issues when you continuously gulp down your food.
More so when you’re not chewing your food thoroughly..
these videos make me feel so calm. i wish i lived in this era.
Yes I feel calm, but I would NOT want to live in this era.
A 1950's lesson on mindful eating.
Just finished the video; so, Eat right and get yourself a train set.
Mark T a really badass one
😂🤭
A train set sounds nice actually...
Never thought I’d fully watch this video but I’m glad I did.
We ate like that daily and very few people other than some older adults even had a weight problem. We ate good, played hard, worked hard and lived good! Miss that good and normal life!
We had such short lunch periods in elementary school that I still eat way too fast.
Deidre Westover I eat fast too. Especially compared to some of friends I’ve had who never stop talking long enough to take a bite of food.
That is100% right. Me, too.
Yeah honestly. Also the food sucked
Yea, they made us eat fast too, it was in 90something some years after commies got away, there was not so much food. Unlike today i got fat i always overeat, but than i learned eating slower and weight got off.
Sometimes I eat fast too and I instantly regret it afterwards because I get the hiccups
We need to bring back real educational films. I feel like so many people just lack basic education on stuff like nutrition
My parents educated me well and warned me about simple things in life (food, relationship, puberty,sexuality, good manner, danger of the world) same for school, don't wait for a voice form an old TV show to tell your child how to behave (when he is at age to understand those videos) tell him, show him, do it yourself and the child will do it to by mimetism, I will not wait for my child to go to school or to understand to just show him how to be a good person and take care of his health.
@@coucou777lucky you
Wow, this film is 70 years old. That means if "Bill" is still alive he is close to 80 now.
or dead
Maybe
I watched this back in 2005 when i was 8 and in 3rd grade in PE class. Dear god this unlocked some memories
Oh, so that's why I have a lot of stomach aches. I have to make room to eat right, that's why at supper I ain't hungry. It's a drag to eat slow...but I have to, and make more energy while eating less and slow. Nice video! I learned something.
Excellent! hope you did it!
I think everyone watches this and thinks - "If Bill can do it, I can do it" no sweat.
"Strong healthy bodies, they are good food to eat!" Cannibalism was legal in the 50s?

who is Billy smiling at when hes eating, because no-one smiled back? who the f. pauses eating just to smile about their juice 3 times?🤣
i still subbed cos these old vids are great!
nila phillips His dad obviously!
He smiled at his mother
I think he stopped because glugging your drink isn't good for you and he smiled at mother in the breaks because he was trying to be spiteful to her for making him eat slowly the little brick
We were actually shown these films in grammar school in the 60s. And expected to believe everything. The marijuana scare films were the best though.😆
mom Dad both were smiling
Why do I like watching old programs like this
Yearning for a different time
We like oldies possibly coz we enjoy the sense of nostalgia, recollections (if any), or simply the simplicity of the vibes as per the old days. 🤎🖤🤍
Kelly Tyler The fifties was kind of an artificial ideal created by unprecedented prosperity. Historically speaking it was unusual for women to have the luxury of being a stay at home housewife, and the nuclear family is not traditional but rather a construct that benefits capitalism while cutting white folks off from their extended family.
Aww bill pushed in his mothers chair 💛 so sweet!
I’m watching these videos while I txted my husband to get me McDonald’s
At least chew it slowly 🤣🤣
Lol
Can we stop eating now? "Don't forget the midnight buffet, Bill!"
LOL!!!
Oh boy midnight buffet !
Oh shit
combination of orange juice and milk is not healthy
That causes a curdled upset stomach.
All I can think of is Aunt Bee telling Opie "Don't bolt your food." It's true that if you eat too fast, you take in a lot of air which makes you feel bad until it comes out of one end or the other, or both.
Not gonna lie. That train set looked awesome.
This is crazy to me because i always use to wonder why i would constantly get stomach aches, and even still do when im older, but after watching this it makes a lot sense since i just stuff food down my mouth.
Chewing is a very important part of the digestive process.
I love watching a random raindrop slide up the screen 📺
Wonderful video, loved it. Thank you for posting. It makes me miss those days so much.
Love these timed. Could watch these all day.
These videos make my day lol 😂
These videos are addicting. LOL. I remember some of them from when I was in school in the 60s. I love the narrator's voice too.
This is way before my time..I love watching classics...and listening to this narrator!
My family and I never sit down to enjoy a home cooked meal anymore.
back when health videos weren't sposerd by the coca cola indrustry
I find it interesting how similar these videos from the 50's, aimed at the general public are to something you might find in special education instruction in modern times.
Why was this in my recommendation, but more importantly why did I watch the full thing then watched it again 2 hours later.
Lol
Their portions are so much better than today.
I miss having meals with my family esp. now that my parents are gone. Nowadays, people don't value meal time, we just go on with our lives doing trivial and not so important things.
Those are the coolest looking water fountains ever.
The narrator is king! 😂😂😂
I’m sitting here watching these idk why but they make me smile & laugh!!
Bill throws up at the dinner table.
