yes! the “fat” people of my youth would be considered normal now. Even smallish- normal.
I remember the fattest person in my HS was name Bubba. He was about 6’1” 330. He could do pullups though, 19 in a challenge from the coach. I could do 26 before I got bored, and could climb the rope without hands. I weighed about 130, he could do pullups with me and a full gym bag hanging on. He was fat, but he was a force. He dropped the weight into the 260 range by graduation. The point is, he was smaller than the Heifers in the pictures.
