That's really strange that it was that early. If you look at pictures or videos of normal people from that time period, the main thing I always notice is how thin everyone looked.

It's likely processed foods and junk wasn't quite as prolific yet, and it also takes time to put on weight.
I imagine people were also eating much more whole foods as well, so saturation could have been lower regardless of what was in the junk food on the shelves at the time.
A study linked on HN recently also showed that sugars relationship to obesity snd diabetes may be that it changes your metabolism over time, and that change to your metabolism is what has you put on fat.
