Not sure which slides you were looking at but 3(old guy on the left is arguably larger than he should be), 12(portly gent on the right), and 66(a fine double chin if ever I saw one) have overweight people in them. Also it was the great depression not exactly known as a time of plenty.

- brianobush 16y agosnacks and heavily processed foods are cheaper than healthy fresh vegetables and fruits. the easy path...
- duck 16y agoI think relating this so called downturn to the Depression is impossible for any of us (and media) to do. From the stories I heard from my grandparents and others, I'm not sure if the generation today would do so well in a true great depression.
- run4yourlives 16y ago3 is an illusion, but your other two examples are certainly heavy set people. I would call neither "overweight" though.
- joshfinnie 16y agoI think the point is that it is almost impossible to take a picture today like #6 without getting one overweight individual in it. Definitely a different world back then.
- randallsquared 16y agoYou clearly don't live near me. It would be easy to take such a picture in Chinatown, DC (unless I was around... ;) ) without overweight people in it. The vast majority of people I see on the street going to and from work are pretty thin. Maybe cities are different, or maybe DC is.
