Most meals were prepared at home 60 years ago, fast-food was a rarity, eating out was a treat reserved for special occasions, snacks and sugary beverages were rare treats, cold cereals contained little or no added sugar, high fructose corn syrup was unknown, local grocery stores stocking real food were common and genetically modified crops were not yet in use. Dairies and meat production were still local rather than nationally centralized.
It's not as if people in 1964 were health fanatics. The typical diet was light on whole grains and heavy on processed meats like hot dogs and bologna, and "going to the gym" was only a thing for high school and college athletes. But food was more likely to be locally sourced, and snacks tended to be real food items such as apples or carrot sticks. The memories of the Depression were still sharp and "waste not, want not" was the zeitgeist.
Going out to eat was a luxury generally viewed as a rare splurge, as it was obviously "a waste of money." This value system made a brown-bag lunch for students and adults alike the common choice.
Kids were encouraged (or ordered) to play outside. Many households limited the hours kids could watch TV, because it was obviously "a waste of time."
. . . Making us ill is extremely profitable, and so is alleviating the symptoms of the resulting lifestyle diseases. Just watch a few hours of trash TV and count how many Big Pharma adverts you see, touting some costly medication to alleviate the chronic diseases directly attributable to the highly processed junk food that is #2 in adverts behind the Big Pharma ads.
As the old saying put it: "They get you coming and going." Eat this highly profitable junk food, become chronically ill, and then spend the rest of your life consuming highly profitable meds.
Yes, vaccines and household chemicals and fire-resistant chemicals in children's clothing and chemtrails and fluoride in the water and plenty of other things -- they've all degraded our health. And of course the COVID bioweapons are an acute and immediate danger to health.
But Smith (the author of the linked article) is spot-on, in that the change in our diets since the 1950s has done more damage to our collective health than anything else until the COVID jabs showed up. I'm shocked when I see photos of people from the 1960s and earlier because they almost always look trim and fit; these days, people are much more likely to be pudgy, fat, or morbidly obese. Including even children, which is horrifying because obesity in childhood makes you much more likely to have health problems as an adult, even if you lose the weight.
