It's worth considering that obesity was far, far less common 40-50 years ago than it is now. I don't know exactly why. It could have to do with something in the food supply, or some other environmental or cultural factor.

We love old memes because they remind us of a time when we felt like participants instead of consumers in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

The most "engaging" content rises to the top...which is generally the most outrage-provoking. Not to excuse or dismiss the people who were doing terrible things, or those who experienced pain or hardship; but those were the MOST PROVOCATIVE things anyone could find. MILLIONS of other people nearby experienced calmness, joy, etc. but that is just left out of consciousness.
