Why Americans Weren't Fat in the 1970s (What Happened!?)

Step back to 1970s America and discover why obesity was rare when today it's epidemic. This was when you could walk down any street and barely see an overweight person, when fast food existed but wasn't eaten daily, when portions were reasonable and meals were cooked from scratch, when walking and physical activity were built into everyday life. The 1970s were the last decade before everything changed—before high fructose corn syrup flooded the food supply, before portion sizes doubled, before suburban sprawl eliminated walking, before food became engineered for addiction. What happened between then and now? The transformation wasn't gradual—it was systematic. Government policies changed what farmers grew. Food scientists engineered hyperpalatable combinations of sugar, salt, and fat. Marketing convinced Americans that bigger portions meant better value. Car-dependent suburbs eliminated incidental exercise. The story isn't about willpower or personal responsibility—it's about how the entire American food and lifestyle environment was restructured in ways that made weight gain inevitable for most people. #1970sAmerica #ObesityEpidemic #FoodHistory
