Everyone just looked like shit back then. Probably because they smoked, drank, and ate like shit without even thinking about exercising.

People definitely exercised a lot more back in the day. Kids and teenagers atleast.

Well ok but they were also vastly less obese and out of shape.

Haha yea because people look so good now. Also it’s hard to eat like shit back then seeing how there was almost zero processed foods, mostly it was all fresh. I also think the general population was way more fit and active compared to today.

Until food safety standards came into effect, that era’s “fresh” food was still pretty dodgy.

unless it wasnt. fresh produce is and was not necessarily the cheapest fare.

poor people often lived off oats and sugar.
