Look at the ingredients, noticeably lacking in all of them in 1940 will be HFCS.
And since the advent of HFCS in the 70s it would is now found in everything named above coke, ice cream, hotdog/burger buns (and condiments) and fries. And the amount of sugar in food stuffs has increased substantially.
We have thousands of years of agriculture showing us forcefeeding corn to animals leads to fattening them up and in particular fatty livers (fois gras). Since the advent of HFCS in the 70’s we have seen the first cases of childhood t2 diabeties and non alcoholic fatty liver disease in the US in the 80’s. Once HFCS made its way into the UK we saw childhood diabeties there too with the first cases in the 90’s and you can follow the spread of western diseases to every country where western HFCS foodstuffs were introduced, for example Okinawa, which once had the best life expectancy in the world and now has western foods and an explosion of these chronic diseases.
