Think about it, growing up - I think most of us (or else I just lived a very deprived existence) ate basically the same breakfast each day, maybe varying a bit on the weekends but we didn't have dozens of options each day. And lunch was basically a sandwich and a piece of fruit or the school menu. Remember when dad or grandpa carried a lunchbox - I would bet that most of the time their menu didn't deviate too much.
Dinner was usually meat, potato, a salad or vegetable, bread or rolls of some kind.
Maybe popcorn while watching tv. Soda was rare. Heck, KoolAid was a treat reserved for Vacation Bible School.
Desserts were not a daily event, usually a cake or pie after Sunday dinner or an ice cream if we went for a Sunday drive or had company and we churned it in the summer.
Now, food is a free for all. People of all ages eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want.
Just look at photos of high school graduations or any gathering like that from the forites or fifties. A heavy person was the exception, not the norm.
Whatcha think?
