I was on this website from a hospital that showed many many of their nurses from the 60s. One thing that was soooo very obvious to me is that they were all normal weight and some were maybe a little underweight. None were overweight. Sadly, today, this is not the case. I've known many nurses that struggle with weight. And since they are often on their feet all day, you would think this would help them to stay slim. But, I think fast food is largely the culprit. It wasn't as available back then, nor as popular and I don't think it was as damaging. Although, very recently I see in the news great strides to rectify the "junki-ness" of the fast foods of today.

Hope I can put up this link. It talks about how men and women today are significantly heavier than in the 60s. The average woman today is the same weight as the average man back then.
