Why did people back in the 70s and 80s looked so skinny?! 馃槼馃槼馃槼

I saw photo of my parents and they were SKINNY!!!! I mean even the women. That isn鈥檛 normal. Most women nowadays are thicker and fuller. I heard men that they don鈥檛 like skinny women. My dad was a skinny teenager and my mom was a skinny child/preteen.
How come people were skinnier back then? I envy them. Cher was SKINNY! Even my grandma was thin!

Yes a lot of women looked much better. The food today has so much crap in it and typically women were able to stay home and actually cook a decent meal. Didn鈥檛 have to bring home fast food so much

@Chevy454 Oooh okay. My dad was talking about that something similar. Why can鈥檛 today be like black them?

Well today we usually need 2 incomes to live, but I think it鈥檚 more of what鈥檚 in the food. For 90-95% of the time I鈥檓 the one who makes dinner at home. I think people also just simply didn鈥檛 eat as much. We鈥檝e become a gluttonous society. @AutismGirl18

We were more health conscious back then. Fat is NOT healthy.

@AutismGirl18 5' 2" 100lbs. Don't care if thick is in, I am more comfortable being in shape.

@curiosi That鈥檚 good. I want to be in shape

@AutismGirl18 Cook your own meals, you know exactly what is in them and the taste is so much better that you can skip the snaking.

It wasn't until the 70s and 80s when food companies had a say in what should be on the food pyramid and processed sugar and corn syrup wasn't in everything. We are extremely malnourished today but obese not to mention vitamin deficient.
Now health studies are paid for by the food companies and fast food chains and they lobby and meddle in the science field it's a mess.

Home cooked food and lots of activity.

I think it has to do with the increase in nutritional value and availability of foods in the last 40-50 years, alongside a relative rise in sedentary lifestyles.

@SW-User Oh. No wonder we鈥檙e fat nowadays

They were hard workers and didn't always eat fast food.
