The place that I got that from shows that leisure time physical activity has gone up over the same timescale, but that non leisure time physical activity has plummeted. Also showed that TV use has gone down, but screen time as a whole had doubled.

there were only 2 fat kids at school (i'm very middle aged) now you see pie-eaters everywhere.
