Yes, I would venture to say if you look back at pics from the 30s.40s and 50s
you won't see any obese people. The word obese was not even in the dictionary then.
Thyroid problems exist, but with treatment, diet and exercise it won't add
250 lbs to a person's frame.

Like a friend of mine says, he never saw a fat person come out of a concentration camp.
