it was an ever-present theme in the culture of the day. In Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield gets maf when society imposes Portion Control on him as he has no interest in conforming to society's rigid Portion Control and Body Image norms. He keeps a stash of Snicker bars (then a novelty) under his mattress iirc in the serial version (edited out of the novel iirc). It is only after society abandoned its strict Portion Control parameters that people started to get fat imho.

A big part of this is that this was before the Third Agricultural Revolution. Food was a lot more expensive and $$$ acted as a natural check on how much people could feasibly consume. Then we got really good at making food, it became insanely cheap, and now everybody is FAT.

“Then we got really good at making food”

No, just the opposite. Most of what people consume today isn’t “food,” it’s high-margin industrialized calories, made to keep corporations, not people, healthy.

jfc, fats are fat today for two reasons...high fructose corn syrup and trans fats. no coincidence we started consuming both heavily in the late 80's/early 90's and they're cheaper than natural sugars and less processed grains.

That’s because the PLATES were expertly portioned you idiot. No more, no less than what’s served, that’s the point. PORTION CONTROL.

“I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.”

“ In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.”

“ Beware the hobby that eats”

“ Be temperate in wine, in eating, girls, & sloth; Or the Gout will seize you and plague you both.”

“ A full Belly is the Mother of all Evil.”

“ A full Belly makes a dull Brain: The Muses starve in a Cook's Shop.”

—Ben Franklin, MASTER of Portion Control (1706-1790) - outlived the median prole of today thanks to his Portion Control.
