Synthetic and fast food are killers!

OTOH...there's NOTHING like REAL butter and lots and lots of it! :-)

Back in the Victorian/Edwardian era, the upper middle and upper classes ate FIVE meals a day.

The middle class ate three or 4.

The lower middle class and lower classes ate less meals, which consisted of inferior quality and quantity.

I saw a very interesting documentary, last week, about the Brit POOR HOUSES, and learned EXACTLY how the infamous gruel, mentioned in Oliver Twist, was made. IT'S DISGUSTING and how anyone was kept alive, at all on it, is beyond me.
