[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everybody was thinner.  The average BMI for Americans has significantly increased in the last 40 years. [/quote]

Definitely true, but odds are the model in an equivalent car add today would make the woman in the OP's picture look chunky.[/quote]

So the models today are thinner but the average person today is heavier?[/quote]

NP here. Yes.

When I see pictures of people, even celebrities, from the 60s-80s, it's amazing how normal they look. Skinny fat, basically. Definitely not toned- did anyone ever work out back then? (Born in 85). Soft arms, round hips and curves, definitely no abs. You had your rare Cher with her perfectly flat tummy and a Farrah here and there but everyone was so wonderfully, normally average. Even the general beauty standards- no veneers or blinding white teeth. Imperfect skin because there was no airbrush makeup and contouring. Frizzy hair.

Basically, people were much more natural back then, in all sorts of ways.[/quote]
