Why did everyone look healthier in the 80s?

>>41650764

more people are obese af now

i blame globalization and fast food

>>41650764
real answer: not every one had access to a free camera on their phone so pictures weren't as widespread as they are today
when pictures were taken they were usually taken for a reason aka not selfies
so that's why whenever you see a picture from the 80s its usually someone having their photo professionally taken and you know damn well no fat fuck has their photo professionally taken

Less dank memes

>>41650764
Less prevalence of TV and video games. People actually were physically active on a daily basis.

however, there are many more fat people than there used to be. It's a combination of both. That said, you're acting like cameras were expensive in the 80s. They really weren't

This. Most people were out of the house almost all day on account of nothing to do there. Computer's were pretty much for work purposes only with no Internet, minimal Tv channels, and extremely basic video games that you'd rarely spent more than 30 minutes playing before you got bored for the day.

Less fast food, less sodas, less candy.

You didn't have candy at the checkout of every department store, hardware store, electronics store, etc.

I have never bought any of that impulse candy on the shelf but many people do.

Because cameras had lower resolutions that doesn't show skin imperfections. Also people didnt spend hours on the internet 'n shit

fat cunt detected

I can't imagine what it was like to be in your prime back then.

At least 95% of the girls were skinny. I heard they were all easy lays also. People just liked to interact, hang out, and party more.

Economy was going well, music was awesome.

Maybe it's nostalgia for a time I never got to grow up in, but it seems pretty sweet.

I do love having the internet though. I don't think I could go back to a different time knowing the internet exists in the future (This implies I couldn't make billions by investing in it)

Yeah, no. I was alive in the 80s. I looked back at my old yearbooks and saw the 'fat kids' would actually be considered 'average' now days.

Look at any obesity data from then until now and you will be sad.

The food pyramid was different, and people knew that being overweight wasn't some mystical genetic voodoo.
That and people weren't as lazy and unproductive as we are today.

we didnt take photos of fat women in the 80s because no one wanted to jerk off to pictures of them
now hot chicks, ah heck yeah everyone took pictures with them

I can promise you we are healthy now than we even were in the 80s. People smoked a lot more in the 80s. People still smoked inside in tbe 80s. The difference between then and now is that there is a greater divide in lifestyles. We are healthy because we choose a healthy lifestyle. Today there is so much more info and resources to live at peak physical conditioning if you CHOOSE to do that. The problem is that many people choose to not give a fuck and that is the other end of the spectrum. Unhealthy people can get unhealthier than ever before and healthy people can get healthier than ever before. It's just two new extremes.

This is true.

I had this conversation yesterday about pasta & rice. As a kid I asked my parents if pasta was 'healthy' and they said yes, so I ate a ton of it.

Excess Carbs, blood sugar, refined carbs, etc wasn't even a thought to most people back then.

Even fatasses know that shit now, they're just too lazy or don't have willpower not to eat mass quantities of it.

My parents & grandparents never ate as healthy or exercise as much as I do now.

Mitch murder is by far the best synthwave artist, he has a whole album dedicated to the 80's. A strong second would be perturbator for the cyberpunk feel and his sexualizer album was gold. https://youtu.be/SYmPpteNHqo

because obesity has risen since then.

would result in the same number of possible photos as

Because promoting carb diets over high fat diets is one of those comedic tragedies.

Make people eat food that blocks leptin and expect them to be skinnier. It's a joke.

no. First, HAES is a feminist cause. Pic-related, these courses are part of Women's Studies at several universities now. It's feminists who are pushing this.
Second, outside of fitness/HAES, feminism is an awful movement which has prevented male victims of rape/DV from getting help, separated fathers from their children, shut down discussions of men's issues, and gotten rid of the traditional gender roles that benefited men while fighting to keep most of the traditional gender roles that benefit women. Feminism is not well and good, if you think it is you need to read up on it more
