How do ppl stay all skinny back then in the 60s and 70s without all the current gym craze and fad diets?馃馃馃

No gyms, no fad diets, ppl ate normal food just like us nowadays (with all the sweets, junk and whatnot), yet somehow overweight ppl were nearly non-existent back in the 60s and 70s.馃槍馃槍馃槍

Meanwhile ppl nowadays r counting every calories they put into their mouths, going 2 gyms regularly and deliberately starving themselves day after day with all sorts of fad diets (like keto, cico, paleo, carnivore, intermittent, liquid etc.) yet ppl somehow still manage 2 stay fat nowadays.馃槱馃槱馃槱

Food back then actually had nutrition in it. No GMO and steroid fed meat or chicken. Now you eat and your body absorbs food that has less nutrition in it, so it craves more. Farm soil today actually still has the same amounts of minerals in it, but is lacking the correct balance of fungus that assists minerals being absorbed into plants.

@stratosranger The fungus aspect is interesting.

RE: GMOs, though, we've had those for literally millenia. Even before Gregor Mendel, people were trying to breed better animals, etc. It's just that now, we have tools which are used to try to directly affect the gene selection.
