[quote=Anonymous]I recommend the book The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollen. It's really good insight into where our food comes from and what goes into it. It's easy to say stuff like "food is more processed now", but can you explain what that means, specifically? And why that is? Anyway the reason this relates to your question is that the entire bio-agricultural industry was different in the 70s and as a result the food people consumed was just vastly different. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich with grocery store bought ingredients today probably has scores of additional additives and preservatives and an entirely different macronutrient value as compare with the same exact sandwich made with grocery store ingredients in the 70s.
