insane to think about how much the american diet and lifestyle has changed since the 50s

grocery stores now 100x larger, infinite varieties of snacks (most of which probably shouldn't exist), everything is processed, fast food, take-out, restaurant culture, delivery apps, most people working sedentary jobs, people going out less generally. being a traveling salesman or stay at home mom was probably 20x better for your physical health than sitting at a desk all day. like, damn, no wonder we're all fat as fuck. i watch a lot of older films and the food scenes are fascinating. lot of grey steak, potatoes, and green beans for dinner. hard to binge on that shit
