Why were people thinner in the 1970s?

Uhhhh…a lot of the comments on here seem to be variations on ‘Lazy = Fat’. Lazy cooks, lazy exercisers, etc.

I’m a solid fifteen pounds overweight, and that’s if I generously call myself ‘Medium-framed’. I exercise like a maniac, and those who know me know how obsessed I am with food experimentation, kitchen gadgets, fancy ingredients, and gardening. …but I still jiggle when I run!

What is this mystery? I love to eat. I love to eat a lot. You don’t cook from scratch and cover your yard with herb gardens if you don’t like to eat.
