[quote=Anonymous]Lots of things. Processed food is even more highly processed now, and engineered to get you to eat more of it, and contains more sugar--things have sugar that you really wouldn't imagine, like chicken nuggets. Other changes in the way food is grown and produced. More sedentary lifestyle. There was less on TV and no video games. Kids weren't so overscheduled and spent more time playing outside. Adults walked more places, too. More people smoked. People ate crap diets, but they generally ate less, mostly because there was less snacking. A lot more people ate family dinners at home. People didn't eat out as much. And the lowfat diets of the 80s and 90s resulted in people eating way more processed carbs, thinking they were healthy. [/quote]
