Why the 1970s Way of Eating Hit Different – And Why I Can’t Stop Thinking About It
I ran across this TikTok video the other day and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks. It was all about how Americans in the 1970s stayed naturally thinner—not because of better genetics or iron willpower, but because the whole food environment was completely different. Meals had real boundaries. You ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner at set times, and that was pretty much it. Snacking wasn’t the constant background noise it is today.
As someone who actually grew up in that era, it rang so true. We didn’t have endless cabinets full of brightly packaged snacks calling our names. You ate when it was mealtime, portions were reasonable (a hamburger was hamburger-sized, fries came in actual small bags), and the kitchen pretty much closed after dinner cleanup. No grazing all day long, no supersized everything, no ultra-processed options lurking everywhere. Meals were smaller, more proportionate, and made from basic ingredients—fresh or simply prepared.
It made me reflect: maybe we really do need to borrow a page from the 70s playbook. Go back to eating at specific times instead of all-day snacking. Choose normal, human-sized portions instead of the inflated ones we’ve gotten used to. Cut way back on the junk and focus on real food again. It felt healthier, more balanced, and honestly more sustainable than the constant diet culture we live in now.
That video stuck with me because it wasn’t about shaming anyone—it was about remembering a simpler, more natural way of relating to food. I’m inspired to try bringing more of that 70s rhythm into my own life. Clear meal times, smaller plates, fewer processed snacks. It might just be the reset a lot of us need. Who else remembers eating this way and feels like it’s time to bring it back?
I want to tell you the story of a young woman who you have probably never heard of. Her name is Mary Anne. She was born on a remote island in Scotland, where life was harsh and unforgiving.
On May 2, 1930, when she was 18 years old, she got on a boat headed for Ellis Island to start a new life. She arrived here 11 days later.
She wasn't chasing fame, riches, or power. She came for the unique opportunity that America offered. Her sister was already here and had found a job as a maid. So, Mary Anne MacLeod joined her, listing her occupation as “domestic” on her Ellis Island immigration papers.
She came to America knowing that she would clean the houses and toilets of the wealthy families in New York. She and her sister lived and worked hard through the worst days of the Depression. And she persevered.
Six years later, she married a man named Fred. He was the son of German immigrants. Then In 1942, she became a citizen.
Mary and Fred would end up having five children: two daughters and three sons.
One of those sons, they named Donald.
A woman who came here as a maid, the lowest of jobs, would raise a son who would change the very skyline that greeted his mother when she arrived at Ellis Island.
After that, he would become the 45th and 47th President of the United States.
There is no other country in the world where a woman can arrive with nothing, and in ONE generation, her son would lead the entire world.
For America’s 250th anniversary, I wanted to present President Trump with this painting I did, and then I ran out of time and talent. So, I asked a good friend of mine, Mike Malm, to help me finish it. This is how I envisioned her coming into the United States.
Mary Anne MacLeod Trump should be a household name. Her story is everything that is great about America.
I love this. 👇
To the person who wrote this, thank you for sharing what so many of us think of our President.♥️🇺🇸
Mr. President,
⠀
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud.
⠀
We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President.
⠀
Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace.
⠀
You didn’t have to do any of this.
⠀
You had the money.
You had the name.
You had the life most men only dream about.
You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up.
⠀
Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything.
⠀
They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going.
⠀
For what?
⠀
For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away.
⠀
You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything.
⠀
You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be.
⠀
And the truth nobody wants to admit?
⠀
We didn’t deserve a President like you.
⠀
A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏
⠀
So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing.
⠀
You earned every bit of it.
⠀
Thank you, Mr. President. From a truck driver in Texas who prays for you often.
⠀
God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
So let's unpack a few things right up front...
1) He left California and was in DC at the hotel where the WHCD was veing held.
2) Imagine the intent he had to have in order to travel that distance all the while thinking about what he was going to do.
3) He either moved several weapons or procured them in/around DC and figured out a way to get them in proximity to the WHCD.
4) He took the time to load the weapons on to his body (to reportedly include several knives) and nobody noticed.
5) Now here is the kicker...in his hidden location he was somehow aware that the President was in the room and was seated. How/when was he aware of that part?
6) If he wasn't a guest at the WHCD and he couldn't see the President from where he was....how did he know?
7) It's not like he could go look in the room and then go load up with his gear.
8) He was supposedly a guest at the exact hotel? Like every room in that place wasn't booked full over a month in advance? In DC, on a Saturday, with the WHCD in the same hotel....have you ever booked a hotel in DC during a Major Presidential event? Good luck!!!
All of it screams that he had help from someone in DC. Someone with some serious knowledge and capabilities.
You just don't pull off something like that on a whim and without some serious reconnaissance ahead of time.

I work for everything I possess. I am self reliant and responsible. I am not anyone’s liability or financial burden.

I am a proud American who is ashamed and embarrassed by the self absorbed, self serving politicians that have not honored their oath. They must be held accountable.
I exercise my responsibility and right to legally vote in every local, state and national election.
I will do everything in my power to primary and vote out every elected official that does not publicly support President Trump’s Executive Orders, agenda or administration.
Nov 5th was the moment that birthed the movement, dedicated to returning America to greatness for our selves and future generations.
You are either with us or you will be voted out.
I know I’m not the only one and we’re not going anywhere.

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently.
"Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting."
Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs.
He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%.
He chose to act knowing his own base would split.
He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help.
He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike.
A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage."
Read that again.
Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
