"Cheers For Chubby" Overweight & Healthy Diet 1950s PSA

The prevailing belief of the 1950s was: "You're fat because you eat too much." "Cheers For Chubby" was a 16 mm film originally shown in movie theaters in the early 1950s. Today, being overweight is blamed by many on a myriad of issues over which we have little or no control. We also now have an obesity epidemic that didn't exist in the 1950s. This PSA was digitized from the actual vintage film reel in my personal collection. In 2013 I wrote a book that explores the social climate relating to women's weight and government recommendations of the 1950s compared to today's. I hope you'll check out my book if you want to learn more. On Amazon: American Women Didn't Get Fat in the 1950s.
