I didn't say it isn't true that people were shamed more often in the past, I said it has little to no explanatory power of the current health crisis because obviously there is no lack of desire from people to be slimmer.

I think it's a little bit of a silly thought to think that just because people want to be slimmer now, they want to do so just as much as they would have facing harsher social pressures in the 1950's.
