The ballooning of British ladies's figure is assigned to the following factors : women in the 1950s ate more carbohydrates ; they could not binge eat as a result of the recession created by the Second World War ( between the 1940 and 1954, food in the UK were rationed ) ; as there were no shops then, ladies were forced to be creative in their kitchen ; girls then had their little allotments where they grew fruit and vegetables ; and the absence of labour-saving gadgets from dishwasher to shopping on the net enabled women do tasks which tended to burn fats, and enabled them to live healthier lifestyles.
