From what I have looked into people today are not eating any more than they were eating 50 years ago. The average person eats between 4-5 lbs of food. That is the point where the stomach feels full.
the difference is WHAT food is being consumed.
50 years ago+ the food contained more water. Fruit veggies things like that. Todays food is highly processed. Processed food removes the water to help items last longer
you can eat an 8 ounce potato or an 8 ounce bag of chips. As far as your stomach is concerned it is 8 ounces of food.
The potato would be about 100-200 calories and the bag of chips would be almost 10x the calories
More propaganda. America is not the fattest country and isn't even in the top 10.
I've seen plenty of folks in the U.K. that look like they know their way around a candy bar. Just sayin'.
