Amazing how a few generations of better nutrition/diet can change entire populations....

In fact the whole world was shorter and smaller 100 years ago, compared to today. So a lot of movies where they showing the era is olden days is simply NOT accurate, especially if it depicts Asia.

Because the people looked different back then (worse looking mostly) and smaller size.

This is certainly interesting thought - is it because of diet or is it because of gene? Hard to tell.

There are some lady who look like lady in old photo, some are beautiful, because of diet or because of mix breeding?

Take something like "height". Humans have definitely grown taller over the past 100 years.

Don't forget nowadays we got make up and last time women have no make up. No plastic surgery...

Last time, fat women considered beautiful also.....

Nowadays, even people around 50 years old, still look like 30s, but such a phenomenon was unthinkable 100-70 years ago.

People expected to grow old at 50 and become grandpa and grandma. They never exercise also. They had no gym, no knowledge about health.

Not any more these days.....
