From 0.01% to 75% people being overweight or obese in the west.
The quality and type of food also completely changed, you can't ignore that.
5% of supermarket aisles are food, the rest are treats and comfort food you should have less than once a week at best
- yawpitch 2mo agoYeah… so the food that would have only been available to those with excessive wealth is now available to everyone, leading to problems that used to be reserved to those who could afford excessive calories being the problems of everyday people. The markets responding by promoting extremely cheap calories from industrial sugar sources rather than cane cut by hand by (relative to a machine or petrochemical processes extremely costly) slave labour is really just a natural consequence of capitalism feeding capitalists. It’s not the food killing people, it’s the people selling the food that are killing people.
