[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, candy used to be made from real sugars. Now a lot of it is sweetened modified corn syrup. Junky snacks didn't have GMO corn in them, either.

So, the prior generations had junk that could ruin your appetite and your teeth.... but it wasn't as dangerous to the body as the weird, genetically-altered stuff today. Food dyes, for example.

[b]Also, in the past junk and sweets were available in moderation (diameter of an average cookie was much smaller). A piece of candy was A PIECE, not a bagful. Where can I buy a piece of candy these days[/b]?[/quote]

exactly. people ate dessert and cooked with crisco and obesity was not as rampant as it is today.[/quote]

????

Agree, crisco, casseroles made from some type of condensed soup, frozen meals, desert with every meal, potatos as a main vegetable, soda daily (Vess, the good stuff), Koolaide and Tang when you were trying to be healthy, etc, etc.  People who wax poetic about how much healthier people ate in the past just make me giggle.

The only real argument that they ate healthier is that the portion sizes were much smaller.[/quote]
