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

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

Home cooked food and lots of activity.

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.

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.

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’t have to bring home fast food so much

My mom has a picture of when she was my age wearing a bikini and she looks exactly toy like me if I were a girl!

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

They were malnourished.

Do you mean thin white duke skinny?
It must have been our rock stars.

The only word I see in this post is: skinny
