How did people in the old days get fat when there was no fast food?

[Anonymous No.10922130]

Fat people in the old days tended to come from wealthy families who could afford abundance of food. Doesnt have to be fast food to get fat, you just have to have a lot of it.

[Anonymous No.10922134]

Because some people were still fatasses and ate more than they worked out, especially if they had something nice like a bank job

Nowadays poor people can afford an abundance of cheap unhealthy food so theyre fat and richer people can afford fresh produce which keeps them thin. Although there are fat rich people nowadays too, while they may be rich that doesnt necessarily mean theyre smart enough to not get fat. But for the most part its a complete reversal.

I hate this meme for so many reasons, 2 of which are that frozen/canned goods are cheap as shit, and secondly you live either in a city with weekly farmers markets or in a rural area where you grow it yourself.

This is true, but your average farm family still had an abundance of food. People consumed over 3000 calories on a daily basis back then because they burned it off with hard physical labor. Rich people got fat by eating the same amount of calories as everybody else, but not doing the physical labor because they didn't have to.

I was reading a book on him and Teddy. In the Philippines, Taft wrote a letter to one of his relatives saying the weather there was causing him to eat more. During the 1912 election, Teddy also called him a fat-head during a campaign speech.

>Taft once sat down in a theater and found his bulk firmly locked into the too-narrow seat. He remarked to his brother: "Horace, if this theater burns, it has got to burn around me"7a. As a Yale professor, Taft had his own specially-widened seat in the front row of the main university auditorium. The audience once saw him come down the aisle "accompanied by a protesting usher, who departed, apparently satisfied, after a brief whispered colloquy." Taft settled into his seat, then said to the woman next to him, "I lost my ticket, but was fortunately able to establish my identity by the breadth of my beam and the corresponding breadth of this seat"

5'9, 284 here and let me tell you some thing you piece of fucking shit.

I'm handsome as fuck and have a babyface that allows me to pull easy teen pussy because of it. You should see some of the tight little bodies I've fucked. I have a 6.5in dick and not a single girl I have ever banged has failed to text/call me for a bootycall late at night. I embrace any challenge I get from someone who tries to stand in my face and intimidate me with their slim figure, because it's pathetic. Large mass, fast reflexes, and ridiculous tricep strength will allow me to either 1) quickly take you to the ground where I will stomp your ugly face or 2 out last you with body punches because your shitty, underweight frame required to take those extra punches made you your frail skeleton break down. I make 85k a year as an mid-level engineering manager at Ford (I'm 23 btw, they will most likely promote me to upper management within the next 2-3 years). I fuck shit up in every single sport and would destroy any of you (minus endurance sports where skill/talent is substituted for light weight). I've been compared to Butterbean in my boxing style. powerful precise punches, knocking out each opponent in front of me. I have 20 k/o's at my local gym and I made the varsity football team freshman year as starting defensive end but boxing and football take up too much time and training so I can't dominate both.

Sports I would destroy you at in order

Boxing Football E-sports Baseball Wrestling Rugby Golf Footgolf Ping Pong others

I know you. Ugly is a given. Probably curly hair. Tried to grow a beard but it was patchy and you were sad for awhile about that. Struggling to find a way to validate yourself you took to reminding everyone how you're "under 190 pounds", as if that was some sort of cutoff for being a man.

People eat more sugar now, yes. But it's not like a slice of pie was uncommon on the farm after supper AND dinner. And as far as fat goes, biscuits and pie crust were made with lard, and butter was slathered over bread and most vegetables. People ate a lot of fat back then.

The past I'm referring to is early 20th Century, before and just after WWI. Sugar was more expensive back then. Of course consumption ramped up in the 80's and 90's when HFCS was super cheap.

My point is that fat and sugar in your diet don't matter so much when you're burning over 3500 calories a day with physical labor. A piece of pie every day after dinner is no big deal. But for someone whop burns closer to 2000 in a day it could be.

>replacing cane sugar with HFCS in popular items like soft drinks doesn't cause the consumption of cane sugar to decrease
>still doesn't understand that most of the general public considers "sugar" and "HFCS" to be 2 separate entities, which is usually reflected in graph wording

Nigger are you literally retarded? Not only are you making utterly retarded assumptions that this was some survey of people being asked how much cane sugar they ate but also LITERALLY ignoring the TWO SEPARATE charts that shows “both” sugar and high FRUCTOSE corn syrup consumption down

Do you literally have down’s, bro?
