Even just 50 years ago, people were often slimmer cause they ate nice food at meals, and did not overdo it. The problem today for some of us is that 1. We know to much about food, and try to figure out ways of eating lots without getting fat, and 2. We misjudge portion sizes because we have been led to believe that eating healthy is more important than portion size.

I bet portion size, especially for women, made life easy, cause it was a simple case of not wanting to look like a “pig” (greedy).
