She's kinda cute. Healthier looking then I assumed a working woman in the 1910s would be.

Her teeth are very straight. A bit too straight for a 1910 woman.

She might have been a model, for documenting the uniform standard

What makes you think working people weren't healthy 100-years ago? As to why you think she looks healthy, she's not fat as fuck.

Here's NYC, 11-years previous. What do we see? I see a thriving society.

What we won't see is a single fat fuck. And no one can argue this is some sort of suffering, starving society. FFS, they're actively building skyscrapers, pushing tech to the limit.

So many choices of words were made in your comment, and you chose wrong every time. You buried your valid point in fat fucks.

Let's go a little lighter on the language describing individuals if we're going to go for condemnation of modern obesity. It's a society-scale problem.

It is a scale issue, that much you two agree on.
