This is why there is a huge difference.
Mom's cooking from scratch - not any more
Food from the garden or nearby farm - not like it used to.
Few options for processed foods loaded with fat, sugar and salt - now it's everywhere and at all times
Kids with their bicycles, skate boards, dirty play clothes from being outside all today - ain't happening anywhere now.
This is a man made pandemic created by the food industry, government, and sociopathic parents.
If you are fat, you shouldn't have kids. If you have fat kids, you should quit feeding them long acting rat poison type foods.

This is a common idea but I don’t know if I buy it.
My mom in the 60s used all kinds of stuff like Hamburger Helper and boxed lasagna and tv dinners and Chun King “Chinese,” you know, she was not cooking from scratch usually. We lived in middle class suburbs. We mostly all ate the same stuff. We were slender kids.
We did play outside a lot.
Food from the garden or nearby farm? No. the local grocery store which had all sorts of crap just like now - cookies, soda, candy, all kinds of bakery items, ice cream, come on, it was just like now. White bread.
My husband used to deliver papers in the morning in the 50s and after his little route he’d stop and get full fat choc. milk and lemon pies. Then go home and have breakfast which I doubt was free range chicken and carrots! School lunch was the processed business that we are all familiar with.
So I really don’t think the quality of food is the problem, although the one change I do see is the “play outside” time.
