Food rationing was a big thing, you wouldn't see them eating a lot of food generally. Additionally, people just didn't eat a bunch of junk and stuck to actual food from diners. Life was generally more pleasureful and entertaining then than it is now.

Because there was less shittier food back then , compared to how it is today , food today is injected with some much shit , that they didn’t inject back on the day , all the hormones and whatever else they inject into chickens and cows these days. So it’s making people fatter

Not as much processed foods and a lot more exercise and less sedentary lifestyles. They ate less too.

Less sugar and no high fructose corn snot. We have a food industry that works with the medical industry to get people sick and not heal them. See you in 3 months…Would you like fries and a donut with that?

[lightbulb27]

they did actual work and ate real food without added sugar and gmo sugar and junk food.

People actually walked and moved around.

Crazy times...

the food was not as processed and people used to walk more and did not sit and stare at screens all the time.

They probably avoided anon question posts for regular old questions. And processed "food". They didn't have ultra processed cheap poison

Fewer processed foods, less convenience items, more physical moving around.

[dreamstar72]

Food choices, unlimited supply of great looking food.

Combination of a more active lifestyle and people not eating as much, highly processed, sugary foods.

People back then were much more likely to be malnourished.

I thought you were talking about the early 1900s lol. Do you mean the 20th century as a whole? Nah people started getting fat probably towards the later half of the the century

[NamerOfStars]

They ate less and exercised more.
