>>297877Well dieting is kind of cargo culting all these Korean/western "aesthetics" iyam.
The norm here used to be guzzle micheladas, eat deep fried corn, and look like the woman in mid which is still largely true for Gen X and boomers.
There was a cultural shift towards dieting somewhere in the early 2000s so millenial and zoomzoom girls engage in bulimia and other such things to be fit. Like it's particularly hard to be fit here because of genes + cuisine (lots of corn and oil) here so at some point women go through extreme diets to avoid being fat.
