As it has in the UK [0][3] and most of the developed world [1]. In the UK official data shows per capita calorie consumption has also fallen since the 1970s [0]. Obesity, similarly is on the rise. Something we have seen a rise in over the same time is heating in homes and other places [2]. I'm unable to quickly locate reliable data for calories burned by exercise or work but it seems a reasonable hypothesis that in the UK being cosy and sedentary is making up for the big drop in calorific intake. Anticipating down votes for sources but do please study the data and where it's taken from.
