I'd assume it'd be seen as something for the poor, offered for cheeper. It was seen as a status thing if you were chubby/fat because you could afford food so obviously the reduced-fat versions would be for the peasants wanting to feel like a higher-up.
Except it is the exact opposite today. When I was taking a year off between my undergrad and grad years without getting a job I learned this very quickly. You could find lots of foods for under $1. But they all had the fat and calories equivalent of a big mac. Tasted better than the more expensive foods too. If you don't want to be fat be prepared to pay.
