Ansel Adams’ pictures of LA recall an era of war factories and 10-cent hot dogs
In those pictures I counted just two people who looked overweight, and at worst they were a little chubby. Yet there's plenty of food in the photos, and it's ice cream, soft drinks, burgers, hot dogs, etc., the same stuff routinely  blamed for the obesity epidemic four score years later.<p>I suppose a lot of that is that these photos are from public places, and most of these people ate out rarely, mostly eating healthier from their lunch boxes and at their dinner tables.
