"The past" is a very long, very large place to be compared like this. Many ancient skeletons show people far healthier, with far better teeth, than those of the recent past or today.
Most of our longevity comes down to antibiotics and better childbirth.
A huge amount of today's food is basically bland, over-processed, mass produced, Round-up soaked, hormone-addled, preservative-laden, antibiotic and micro-plastic filled sludge that uses fat, salt, sugar and colorants to pass as edible.
Claiming this as superior to the local, artisanal, organic produce filled diets with a variety of meats from wildlife that hadn't been exploited to extinction is a very, very, very hot take.
