[quote=Anonymous]For those old enough to remember the 60s and 70s, were 24-inch waists as common as the movies and magazines indicate? My question is not whether Americans have gotten larger on average, this is a confirmed fact. What I’m wondering is if bodies and figures have evolved to be heavier and wider, even among healthy people, and if it’s necessarily in a negative way. I have a 25.5 inch waist, most people would consider me thin and healthy, and I don’t have any belly fat to lose. For me to take two inches off my waist, you’d have to remove part of my ribcage or rearrange some of my internal organs. It just doesn’t seem like a 24 inch waist would be healthy or advisable for most women (surely some can pull it off, but certainly not all) Did women 50 years ago more commonly have a narrower or more fragile bone structure?
