Yet they were much skinnier than we are.

The reason?

Food is so cheap.

When my parents were kids the grocery bill was more than the mortgage....that's almost never the case today.
Since food is so cheap and plentiful, people are eating more and more of it.

One of the reasons food is so cheap is farm subsidies. One of the biggest subsidies goes to corn growers. This made corn syrup cheaper to use than sugar, so food manufacturers started using it.

So while obesity and corn syrup are plotting the same graph....I think it's more for the reason that corn syrup made food cheaper and people started eating more of it....not that corn syrup is more "evil" than something like sugar or molasses.
actually when we were kids the grocery bill was alot cheaper.We were talking about it this weekend. MY mother said I dont know how families do it now its so expensive to shop. When you were kids , only your father worked and we ate 3 meals a day at home 7 days a week and 6 of those meals had meat. My mother said I dont know how families do it now.

Corn syrup does have a much higher glycemic index than regular sugar if I remember correctly. So if you drink a HFCS beverage with a meal, your body will go into storage mode.

They use it because it's cheaper.

I rarely drink cola anymore but once in while I'll get an ice cold Coke and it tastes soooooooo good.

i dont see how people even drink pop when they're thirsty. it dehydrates the shit out of you.

I didn't even know this is news worthy. I figured people who eat more sugar based substance would realize that it's extra calories. Moderation is key with most things. Except porn. SELL MORE! SEE SIG!

I know this isn't a brand new thread but.....our mother's memory and the facts are at odds.

Sure in terms of spending $X per week at the grocery store, things were cheaper then....but as a percentage of a families income, food is cheaper now than at any time in human history.

The numbers may be a little off because there has been a spike in food prices just this year, but speaking in terms of the last decade or so.....cheapest food and biggest variety of food in human history.

It's a debate. Some studies showing adverse effects, others not. There's no difinitive answer in Medicine, and yet here you are telling me it's going to give me cancer.

Meanwhile, we know for sure the dangers posed by Obesity. Everything from Diabatese, to heart disease to high blood pressure and cholestory, etc etc. Not to mention the measurable decrease in quality of life.

No, I'm sorry I'm not convinced. The average fat ass Pepsi swilling American would be doing himself a giant favour switching to Diet Pepsi.
Why drink any kind of soft drinks at all? Water is better for you.
