Think about it…refined sugars weren’t in everything. People had to leave their house, usually on foot, horse, or bike (the modern “safety bicycle” with equally-sized wheels and a chain-drive, came out the same decade).
You’d have to have support/enablers, and you’d have to eat a lot.
Nowadays it’s easy to get fat. Everything is at our fingertips including vast amounts of unhealthy and unsatisfying food stuff. And Walmart is just a few minutes ride in a climate-controlled vehicle. And you’d have to be real heavy to get a car to not want to move you…try that with a horse.
“All these other countries, nobody’s fat? Think about that shit, dawg. How does a motherfucker get fat? You gotta sit on a couch, do nothing but eat and watch TV all day. White trash, poor Mexicans and blacks, all obese as motherfuckers. See, the White Man has created a system with so much excess, that even poor motherfuckers are fat.”
If you were rich even in ancient times you could be carried by servants and put in some kind of chariot or carriage, but getting enough food to get that fat and eating it all without modern industrial food would be the real feat.
To be fair, getting fat back then was hard work.
