I’m old enough to remember when everyone wasn’t fat. In fact, when fat people were pretty scarce.
In the 60s, I was the fattest kid in my class. If I could have jumped forward in time, I’d be one of the smallest now.
yes! the “fat” people of my youth would be considered normal now. Even smallish- normal.
My old man was in the USAF so I attended several different schools in several states and Puerto Rico. We always seemed to have one fat girl and one fat guy in each school.
Now when I see school kids, most are at least overweight if not fat.
My sisters and a few relatives visited Japan a few years back. They're all very fat. All the Japanese they encountered made rude comments about "the fat Americans". The Japanese were all slim and fit. Fat people are scarce in Japan.
