Probably. But there were lots of other times too. The Renaissance, the 1830s in the American South, I'm sure there was a certain charm living under Urban II as a white european man if you catch my drift.

Not really. The 50s is shrouded in myth and romanticism, but when you look at the reality you see a world that was still in many ways pre-modern. Disease and viruses still killed by the millions even in the developed world, especially young children, and working hours were long with comparably few benefits and worse working conditions. Diets were high in saturated fats and cholesterol, and the only thing saving the people living then from being obese unhealthy lardasses was that they simply couldn't afford to eat that much. Suburban women enjoyed lives of quiet desperation as machines took over more of the housekeeping leaving them with hours of free time and nothing to do, resulting in record drug use even among the middle class. The legal system was a rort (not that it's much better today) and political repression was a reality for the American left.

It was a time like any other.

Yeah, but most people didn't eat them by the kilogramme.

Those foods are fine in moderation, and for most of American history moderation wasn't a choice. Food used to be the single largest expense for most families, even more expensive than shelter.

Not anymore.

No because if you're American there's a chance you'll have PTSD from slaughtering endless numbers of Japs in the jungle and if you're a German your country will be divided and you'll have terrible PTSD from all your years on the Eastern Front fighting against the commies

Stop spouting bullshit you heard on Facebook and trying to sound smart. By 1950 there were vaccines for most major infectious diseases, penicillin was invented by 1928 anon, not 1948. Work hours in the developed world were a godsend in the 1950s compared to lots of countries today, like 45 hours a week, big deal. Suburban women spent their times running charities and bake sales and dances and all kinds of things, not just housework. Drug use was way down, crime was way down and political repression of the left was there for a good reason. The legal system was bad I'll give you that, but everything else you said is exaggerated Progressive propaganda.

I'd wager that homecooking was still a thing back then and as it requires some time and work to prepare a meal the amount of calarories for every family member is limited.
Processed food probably wasn't widely availalbe and of not that high quality.

90% chance you wouldn't have an office job, you'd probably be working at a glass factory somewhere or digging a ditch. oh, what a privilege.
>>
>>79720457
No.

But you probably think it was because of fictional drawings and advertisements.

(Oh, and maybe a few staged family photos)
>>
>>79727077
Most likely because people were more active. There were no computers, cell phones, or lots of TV programming to sit down for. Plus, you didn't have all of the artificial shit and snacks.

>By 1950 there were vaccines for most major infectious diseases
Infant mortality in the 50s was 40 in 1000, as opposed to 6 in 1000 today.

Your perception of how many vaccines existed in the 50s, founded entirely on a well-researched appraisal of the history of vaccination, I'm sure, doesn't change that.

>Work hours in the developed world were a godsend in the 1950s
34 hours on average for men, as opposed to 29 now. Considering the unemployment rate in '54 is the same as the unemployment rate now, that represents a considerable shrinkage in worked hours despite a rise in real income.

>Drug use was way down, crime was way down
Illicit drug use and drug-related crime are way down, sure. That's because all the drugs were legal, and people popped them like candy. Same with cigarettes and alcohol.

>political repression of the left was there for a good reason
"It's not fascism when we do it!"

Don't ever accuse me of using Facebook again.
