Do you think there's any correlation with this? If you got a big ass burger back then, you'd feel full. Now I find myself over stuffing myself with burgers on the dollar menu because I know that the main course won't fill my stomach.
The Big Mac was bigger; nothing else was. People also didn't eat as much of this shit in a week.
Was there actually more meat in it?
>Do you think there's any correlation with this?
Nope. I think it's related to an 3rd factor: lifestyle. In the past people did a lot more physical activity. Now we sit on our asses and play with TVs, computers, and phones.
>People also didn't eat as much of this shit in a week.
This too. In times past fast food was a once-in-a-while thing and not the default diet for many people that it is today.

your post in a nutshell
Wait...what happened after 1990?
I'm not sure "better" is the right word here. More like "burned more calories".
that's in a different photo.

Your post in a nutshell
Bigger maybe, but less calories for sure. Even when foods and conditions were more dirty/less regulated, people saw things like burgers and sodas as treats. Today, they are things you can eat everyday and no one would be surprised buy it.
The calories in sauces, mayo, and fries is fucking crazy, let alone the amount of sodium and lack of nutritional value
People used to marry and have children
Having children used to make you more responsible not less
So yeah McDonalds went from being a place you take kids to a place you take manchildren and the big mac went from being the adult burger for parents to becoming the staple of the restaurant
This has been a constant factor for two hundred year snow
Burgers arent even smaller now, they are bigger than they were in 1950. You are only looking at a picture of the big mac, which was its largest size during the 70's when it was competing with the whopper for popularity. Plus fries and drinks have gotten larger and now you have the option to "supersize."
How about you just eat less fast food and go outside more? Stop trying to rationalize your gluttony.
They call the original sized Big Mac the McKinley Mac in Alaska.
I would only go to McDonalds if it was the only thing in the area, and even then it would only be out of desperation.
Can't super size anymore.
People have thought this way ever since there were people
Biggest change between now and then is that people ate more home cooked meals. Going out to eat was a treat, not something people did several times a week. Also Americans consumed far less sugar and cheese back then (both fattening things).
Nothing to do with the burger, everything to do with the size of the sodas and the frequency of attendance.
Go look at the soda sizes from then to now.
I for one welcome the long-awaited thaw.
>cheese
stop breathing anytime
define fattening you FUCKING retard
do you mean it contians a lot of fat?
do you mean it is calorically dense?

It's not the burgers that make us muricans fat. It's the gallon size soda cups that we drink with our food, refill, drink again and refill on our way out of mcdonalds.
My point was simply that the average American's cheese consumption since the mid-1970's is up over 300%. Triple your intake of a particularly calorie dense food and you're consuming a lot more calories.
Fattening typically means calorie dense, not filling, or both
You're having an aspergers attack
>two hundred year snow
