It appears that people used to eat more food in the past. At least for Finland, modern Finns eat 40% less calories than they used to 100 years ago. The reason is that agriculture work demands a lot of calories.
- kyllo 13y agoBut were Finns eating too much food 100 years ago? Probably not, considering their daily caloric expenditure at the time. "Too much food" is of course relative to how much food your body needs, given how physically active you are. But, I suspect that Americans on average both get less exercise and consume more calories than they did 100 years ago.
