Obesity is not caused by the amount a person eats but the quality of eats. Folks in 3rd world countries eat better quality grub then America.
Organic, seasonal, nose to tail. Like a fancy restaurant.

I was watching this show on the diets of feudal.peasants, a typical dinner was farro, kale and salmon, like nutritionally perfect.

Processed foods, diminished testosterone, the phrase soyboy. Increased cancer's. We've come along way baby .😁 and we wont touch on what technology has done.
Increased our life span by about 3 times. Seriously for all the jabs at bug pharma, fast food, etc, etc, etc. Our average life span has gone from over 30 years, to over 90. Now true there is a huge combination of things that have led to that but somehow they all get knocked. Fast food is fine, in moderation. Booze is fine, in moderation. Problem is that people have no willpower or sense of personal responsibility any more.

Remember thru most of human history anyone 50 or older was thought to be old and wise. Now that we live longer we know better.

Not quite correct, average lifespan in earlier eras is highly skewed by a high infant and child mortality rate. If you made it past 7 you were good to go.

But regardless.advances in lifespan are primarily due to sanitation, not processed foods. Intact processed food consumption may be decreasing lifespan compared to earlier
