Sorry Kach. The biggest contributor to this is issue from the pesticides and additives to modern processed food is that these things make modern processed food possible.
Moses is on the money. The post WW2 economic boom saw the first generation in the US that had access to cheap high calorie food, a model that was soon exported around the world. Every Western nation has the same issue, the US was a generation ahead. It was in the US in the early 70s that medicos started reporting "age on-set diabetes" in children - now a Western plague and rising fast in China and India.
Too much of the wrong food, too often- plus the increasingly sedentary lifestyles. That data is in. But anecdotally, find a streetscape picture from the 50s or 60s of the city you live in which is full of people, and compare them to the same scene today. Its astounding.
We know have people having their stomachs mostly removed in attempts to control their eating. But there were no fat bastards in Changi.
