Paleo-conservative dorks that love to romanticize the 50s/60s: “everyone was much thinner and healthier looking back then”

While the daily caloric intake of the average american has increased about 20-25% since the 60s, there’s another *big* component as to why people were thinner back then: they smoked like chimneys.

So let’s not act like they were thin because they were healthy. The nicotine was suppressing their appetite and half of them were functioning alcoholics.

This type of nostalgia is cancer tbh.

No point in human history was perfect.
