'Less processed foods'? From the 70's? Anyone that spent any adult years in the 1970's would realize that food was probably more processed and worse for you than food today so i have no idea what the basis for your argument is.

The OP has a point. While find her extremely attractive and agree wit her being a perfect shaped woman etc, people used to be much less fat before McDonalds/Coke-Pepsi epidemic, personal computers and cable TV. Obesity surge in the 80s and 90s is the main reason those skinny heroine addict looking supermodels such as Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford became such a trend in the 90s. However it's still not something as important to make her character unbelievable.

Fat? You're joking of course, or trolling or whatever. Stunning girl.
And furthermore, to your second statement, in the 70's Trans Fat was in its glory days. It was everywhere. In Twinkies and McDonald's fries. Candy bars were 4 ounces each instead of 2 ounces. More processed foods then than now. -

She has the inflated look that people only started having in the last 20 years. A young woman wouldn't look like that eating a diet with less processed foods.
You're pretty stupid. Anyone ever tell you that? -

Warning, Sarcasm Triggers:
Having grown-up in the 70's I can attest there were No fat people. Not only were there no fat people, there were no chunky/overweight/chubby people. That made out real hard for the Chubby Chasers.
Rachel Keller is a beautiful woman, I wonder who are you looking at that you mistakenly call her obese. -

The overweight were much rarer, particularly amongst young people. That was true even in the 90s, where there might have been one overweight child in a classroom who was made fun of, instead of it being most of the class.
But that's besides the point. Rachel Keller is not overweight. She just has the inflated well-fed look that comes from eating processed American food that's full of high-fructose corn syrup and meat pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormone. People generally didn't look like that in the 70s. Look at any archive footage of young women in the public and they looked how we would now call "skinny". -

I grew up in the 80s-90s. In Minnesota. I can assure you there was more than one chunky girl in my classroom.

You don't seem t111co know even the basics of nutrition. Calories are calories and it doesn't matter where you get them from.
Her skin is glowing and she looks healthy, she's obviously not fat unless you are comparing her to Calista Flockhart, so why make such nasty and negative comments? She looks great and I promise you that some people in the 70's and all decades before to the beginning of humanity came in many different body sizes.
