[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 54 and remember when everybody started marketing low fat foods in the 80s, and nobody realized they added a bunch of sugar to make it taste better. And I really think we got addicted to that, more than anything. And that was about the same time diet sodas became sweetened with Nutrasweet which tasted a lot better than the older saccharine sweeteners that had a bitter aftertaste. There is some data out there that just tasting the sweetness without getting the calories makes you crave more. To me, those two trends really shifted how we ate as a country. That plus fast food marketing super-sized everything. [/quote] I really do think it's more than a few things. Probably a shift in the sugar content of all our food. [/quote]
