Yeah factory farming has reduced the price of food in general notwithstanding the recent bump inflation relating to food, that and the increased palatability of it with the advancements in food science and so forth.. so basically factory farming and food science, including other factors such as the loss of Family Ties, just like dogs and cats are substituting for children food is substituting for love

That was based on a book, right? She was probably supposed to be, but Hollywood producers were like, "nah no fat chicks in lead roles," so they got an actress with plump cheeks and a little arm fat

you must be remembering things wrong, or i am.

i graduated from hs in 1996. people overall are larger for sure, but she wasn't "fat" then. she was a little bit dumpy. i remember thinking it was off that she was portrayed as a fat person in the movie.

wtf is this proving? this is her in 2018 (she looks great btw)

i think the point of the OP is that a person who was her size in bridget jones was considered by society to be fat whereas it's just normal now. what i'm saying is that someone her size back then wasn't considered fat. dumpy and frumpy yeah, but not fat. hollywood just didn't want to cast an actual fat broad in the role.

now in the 1950s, marilyn monroe was considered to be heavy whereas today she'd be a j crew size 4.

I am the op so if you need more information about my point just ask.

she was considered fat. this is proving it in the sense that she had to gain all that weight to play a fat person and then didnt keep it on. her blustering about the fact that "who cares about what size a human is" is all to cement the fact that she was FAT.

FAT

in 2001 people also used to comment on how slim "comically fat" actors were in years past. and you're not wrong, it's just insane that our idea of "fat" keeps growing.

godammit i miss the skinny female weight standards of the 90s. women were undeniably hotter.

it really does demonstrate that society started to off the rails that in 2025 we can get in HR or social trouble if we say that it's unhealthy and gross to weigh 300 lbs. who are these unhinged people pushing fat acceptance? most fats want to be skinny, who is behind this shit? but the very existence of something like the fat acceptance movement explains who hollywood/media has been cramming fat person content down our throats for so many years. god willing we get to take a stand if DEI stuff is going to stay out of favor for a while.
