[quote=Anonymous]I think it's so many things. Portion sizes, walking/biking vs. driving, levels of sugar and saturated fats in food, more time to cook at home (SAHM/lower productivity/expectations at work) vs. relying on takeout, phthalates that interfere with our hormones/metabolisms. In many ways I think UMC people eat a lot healthier now than they did in the 70s/80s. Growing up in the 80s I had tons of processed foods and pretty minimal fresh veggies, and that was normal. We thought Gatorade was healthy. But it's not enough to overcome the factors listed above.[/quote]
