There was a huge stigma about being obese 50-70 years ago. It was wholly unacceptable for children, young persons and women in particular. Exclusively older men were allowed to be obese culturally without being shamed about it.
As recently as the 1980s movies were overloaded with jokes about fat people, it was extremely common. That's stigma in action culturally.
