I remember 1980 and it's not clear to me that the popularity of "eat less, exercise more" as advice has increased or decreased; it seems comparable (but less justifiable since it's been so ineffective in the face of obesity taking off while exercise has increased). "Fad diets" were very much seen as such well before then. By contrast, I don't remember "fat acceptance" as a thing at all back then.
