Amazing, how back in the 1940s and 1950s. Men looked very masculine, chisled and healthy. Women looked very feminine and very young in comparison to today.
I notice in many liberal cities there
Cool story, bro.
I like how you make it serve your "big liberal city" propaganda conveniently ignore the massive obesity epidemic concentrated in rural red states. You're such an honest, credible person.

Here's a look at the 10 most obese states in the U.S. and the percentage of obese adults living in that location, per Consumer Protect.
It all has to do with all the junk in food these days and the ever increasing sedentary lifestyle so many are living and it is only going to get worse as the convenience of technology moves into more and more peoples lives.
My mom for example is in her mid 70's and she walks her dogs, cuts her grass, rakes leaves and even shovels her driveway. I try to keep up with her by doing those things plus cutting, splitting wood and being active.
I do think that the thin people the OP is talking about from pre WW2 actually suffered from malnutrition.
Still if you travel to Europe today the people are smaller than most Americans but they are catching up to us.
Ironic that conservatives are complaining about this yet at the same time, vehemently oppose any regulations to promote healthier school lunches and healthy eating. Conservatives oppose dense, walkable urban living (which promotes exercise) in favor of gas guzzlers and sedentary lifestyles. Also ironic that it's the deepest red states that suffer from the worst obesity epidemic.
Republicans are so awesome at blaming Democrats for the problems that they themselves have caused.
I blame the parents, not democrats or Republicans. Parents using the TV as a baby sitter. No chores, no expectations, very few kids play sports compared to the 60's and 70's. The video game is the preferred entertainment.
Then again I grew up in the country. We were kicked out of the house by 8am. We had chores to do. We didn't die and I was never paid to do chores.
I raised my kids like I was raised. I didn't pay them to cut the grass, wash dishes, clean their own rooms or wash their own clothes.
Why do you think that it is the government's responsibility to provide fitness regulations? lay blame where it belongs, with the individual.
I notice in many liberal cities there are lots of young people who have Rhinophyma from the tremendous amounts of wine, beer and liquor they drink. When I was Provo/Orem people have traditional noses of generations ago, but in cities where excessive wine, hard liquor and drug consumption is the norm there is a tremendous amount of young adults who have what looks to be Rhinophyma.

Which Conservatives oppose "healthier school lunches and healthy eating"?
The school lunch fiasco was due to trying to force kids to take food they did not want to eat, not to mention taking a one size fits all approach to calories. Older kids were not being given enough to eat.
Not all of us want to live in "dense, walkable" urban areas. I like my home on nine acres. I do not have to be in a "dense, walkable" urban area to get my exercise.
