[quote=Anonymous]My grandparents born in the 19th century were the worst at judging fat people. The pressure to be slim has been around since the Industrial Age (remembe Virginia Slims? Or corsets?). I’m sure standards were different when people were dying a lot from dysentary and plague—a little fat probably indicated you didn’t have any of those things. I do think the judging of old people has increased a lot. 30 years ago no one was complaining that a middle aged woman with four kids had let herself go because she went gray and put on some weight around the middle. Now we are all expected to have no gray hair, wrinkles, or fat until at least 70. It’s exhausting. [/quote]
