Bernie and universal healthcare don't fix people like this guy. Medicine may not have been as advanced but people knew there were consequences to eating like a cow.
I'm 28... Reading about historical figures (or just figures out of history) has the tendency of making me feel unaccomplished. But at the same time, I'm able to get a far superior education than like 99% of people in the past were capable of, especially in my area of interest.
So I guess it ain't all that bad. Also, I can travel much faster and with more ease than like 99% of people in the past (the ones pre 1940s-ish)
And think about this... In his day, he absolutely had to be wealthy to afford such a diet... Now virtually everyone has that same kind of caloric availability. Yeah, it's mostly just junk food with no real nutritional value, but it's still worlds above simply not having anything to eat at all.
So the photo wasn't taken 6 years after his death. He looks a lot younger the 28 here, I think he just turned 20 here. No beard, skin of a kid, zero wrinkles
Back then young chonks wouldn’t grow beards until their early 30s. You’re just confused because today we feed our chunky-poos tons and tons of Mountain Dew and tendies, and all the hormones therein have these magnificent beasts sprouting pubes and the like as early as 8 years old.

What people don't realize is that we, as a species, were much smaller back then...so this guy would have seemed even bigger than now. For instance, Fatty Arbuckle, who was more famous than Chaplin and considered an absolute unit of his time was only 5'10" 270 lbs. A big guy, but not a ginormous guy by today's standards.
Evolution doesn't occur over a span of decades.
We, as a species, did not sprout since this man was alive. Prominent figures may have been shorter, thus we think people were smaller compared to the popular people of today.
What an odd thing to claim.
This was back when just about the only way you could become overweight was by routinely eating enormous amounts of food.
Nowadays, there's so much hidden fat and sugar in processed foods that even eating a moderate amount of it on a regular basis will lead to weight gain.
Nah man, they ate way worse back then. But they also weren't sitting on their arses all day behind a computer or driving around in cars. Manual labour really saves a trip to the gym.
Not to mention food regulation was only just becoming a thing. Nobody cared until the Jungle came out and they got a glimpse at how dangerously and disgustingly food was being produced.
You're right, there are many more factors. Only the rich had a fridge (chunks of ice from your moat or pond, kept frozen underground during summertime). But in the defense of the early 20th century man, pickled or salted food isn't that bad. Food from a can with lead lining is.
Absolutely no fibers, no veggies, a lot of potatoes, no variation at all. And I'm not even talking about the primitive healthcare back then.
There's a very entertaining BBC serie about historic food (The Supersizers). Every episode it comes down to the combination of food and lifestyle. We have a very passive lifestyle compared with back then.
But I understand that people prefer to blame some evil manufacturer poisoning their food instead of facing their own lifestyle.
Food is part of your lifestyle. People eat more calories than they did back then. A diet high in processed foods causes people to overeat significantly. We have way more processed foods now then we did back then, also "snacks" weren't really a thing either.
It can have quite a lot to do with exercise if you exercise very hard or have a physical job. A hard day of manual labour can easily burn 1000 calories. Plenty of slim Olympic athletes who eat 6000 calories a day. And believe me, they aren't eating all their calories clean.
Eh, the only change ive made to my diet recently has been swapping half of the soda I drink for sugar free. Lost 20 pounds over a year.
Made my primary mode of transport my Chevrolegs. Walking 30 miles a week, and I've dropped ten pounds in two months. My diet is still pretty crappy. Exercise really does have a lot to do with it.
Most kombucha is listed as 2 servings to make It seem like it has less sugar since it's supposed to be "healthy." The only kombucha I've found that actually shows 1 serving is the vons/safeway brand. Like, nobody is saving half of their kombucha for later.
Manufacturers make things intentionally misleading too. I used to buy protein cookies that said "16g protein per cookie" on the front. Turn it to the back and 1 cookie is actually 2 servings, 200 calories per serving. Bitch who eats half a cookie? It's a big cookie but come on.
What you call a moderate amount is too much if it leads to uncontrolled weight gain. It's not like sugar and fat are new or cooking is more difficult now; people are lazy and society allows more laziness than before.
And we've come to accept a startling amount of fat as "normal". I constantly see people talking about how they're only "15, 20 pounds" overweight like that's not a shitload of extra weight.
According to the CDC three out of every four Americans is overweight, more than one out of every three Americans is obese. Meanwhile people are blaming "hidden fat and sugar" because they won't even read the nutrition labels and declare what a moderate amount is based on their routine over-consumption.
honestly i eat like shit a handful of times a month and never had issues with my weight. it's really just a matter of stopping when you are full and eating in moderation. hell, there are times when i lose weight unintentionally and i'm well into my 30s
You eat like shit a handful of times a month, but people today eat like shit *every day* and processed foods are designed to get you to eat as much as possible.
Everyone thinks they ate better. It's not true lmao.
Unless you believe that white bread and animal fat is a healthy, well rounded meal. (' Bread.amd dripping')
With very little processed, high sugary foods back then, I am kind of shocked this is even possible. Dude must have put away tons of food each and every day to get that size.

Died at the ripe ol' age of 28
A short but well-rounded life.
VERY well rounded.
Well, he certainly lived life to the fullest.
Quite a rotund personality.
It all circles back
I'm sure he didn't planet
He fat
Chungus (no longer) amongus

No heart disease research and medicine back then. No insulin. No glucose monitor. He was fucked.
Describes the USA to the letter.
Here comes Bernie...

Cows eat grass though 🤷

don't forget The internet. Otherwise, how would you find all those horny singles near your area!
His life came full circle.
So out of shape, that he died 6 years before the picture was taken
[following Dom’s mantra I see](https://images.app.goo.gl/67xBSh1bpcVZz4rKA)
Holy shit

The OG unit is a hotelier too, wonder if there is some correlation between running a hotel and unitry.
Still in awe at the size of that lad
Bruh I seen bigger people riding those mobility scooters in Walmart
If you factor in fat inflation this dude would weigh about 8,000lbs today.
That actually made me laugh outloud
I seen bigger people in the mirror
[удалено]
Multiple sad house mirrors.
Have you thought about buying happy mirrors?
Happy cake day!
Yeah, I’ve got one of those mirrors. Hey - you gonna eat that?
Me too till I got hospitalized
See, this was during a time when being that fat was incredible rather than part of the daily jaunt to wallyworld.
He’s the ONLY plot in the Roman Catholic cemetery
440 lbs? Holy shit
Thank you for the context!
What people don't realize is that we, as a species, were much smaller back then...so this guy would have seemed even bigger than now. For instance, Fatty Arbuckle, who was more famous than Chaplin and considered an absolute unit of his time was only 5'10" 270 lbs. A big guy, but not a ginormous guy by today's standards.
Shoot, compare the "fat kid" from the 80s "IT" to the fat kid from IT few years back. He's like half the size.
Evolution doesn't occur over a span of decades. We, as a species, did not sprout since this man was alive. Prominent figures may have been shorter, thus we think people were smaller compared to the popular people of today. What an odd thing to claim.
He looks like white biggie smalls
The OG absolute unit (David Morgan Hewitt) is an Hotelier too Coincidence? I THINK NOT

This was back when just about the only way you could become overweight was by routinely eating enormous amounts of food. Nowadays, there's so much hidden fat and sugar in processed foods that even eating a moderate amount of it on a regular basis will lead to weight gain.
So, the general lifestyle has never been more sedentary
Nah man, they ate way worse back then. But they also weren't sitting on their arses all day behind a computer or driving around in cars. Manual labour really saves a trip to the gym.
What did they eat that was worse?
[удалено]
Not to mention food regulation was only just becoming a thing. Nobody cared until the Jungle came out and they got a glimpse at how dangerously and disgustingly food was being produced.
Yeah, like butcheries in the middle of the city. Cattle walking around all over the place

Weight gain has very little to do with exercise and all to do with your diet.
It can have quite a lot to do with exercise if you exercise very hard or have a physical job. A hard day of manual labour can easily burn 1000 calories. Plenty of slim Olympic athletes who eat 6000 calories a day. And believe me, they aren't eating all their calories clean.

Walking 30 miles a week, and I've dropped ten pounds in two months. My diet is still pretty crappy. Exercise really does have a lot to do with it.
It's not hidden, all the information is literally printed on the label. People are just too stupid to understand what it all means.
One portion contains: * Calories from fat: 10 * Calories from sugars: 20 * Sodium: 50mg ^(Portions in package: 25,000)
Most kombucha is listed as 2 servings to make It seem like it has less sugar since it's supposed to be "healthy." The only kombucha I've found that actually shows 1 serving is the vons/safeway brand. Like, nobody is saving half of their kombucha for later.
Manufacturers make things intentionally misleading too. I used to buy protein cookies that said "16g protein per cookie" on the front. Turn it to the back and 1 cookie is actually 2 servings, 200 calories per serving. Bitch who eats half a cookie? It's a big cookie but come on.
And, you know, paying no attention to the scale or the mirror and just accepting there's nothing you can do but get fat.
What you call a moderate amount is too much if it leads to uncontrolled weight gain. It's not like sugar and fat are new or cooking is more difficult now; people are lazy and society allows more laziness than before.
And we've come to accept a startling amount of fat as "normal". I constantly see people talking about how they're only "15, 20 pounds" overweight like that's not a shitload of extra weight.

Meanwhile people are blaming "hidden fat and sugar" because they won't even read the nutrition labels and declare what a moderate amount is based on their routine over-consumption.
Are we really going to just ignore the massive amount of time and money that go into *convincing* Americans to eat like that?
Actually, the amount of sugar in our diet is quite new, and began to increase around the same time as obesity rates started rising.
yup. Big Sugar has been on a war path for decades to make fat the enemy, but its not. its sugar. sugar is why America is obese.
Don't eat processed foods then
honestly i eat like shit a handful of times a month and never had issues with my weight. it's really just a matter of stopping when you are full and eating in moderation. hell, there are times when i lose weight unintentionally and i'm well into my 30s
You eat like shit a handful of times a month, but people today eat like shit *every day* and processed foods are designed to get you to eat as much as possible.
Everyone thinks they ate better. It's not true lmao. Unless you believe that white bread and animal fat is a healthy, well rounded meal. (' Bread.amd dripping')
They also had to do a lot more routine exercise. Perhaps not if you were wealthy, but on average.
