I believe fast food and soda pop are two of the main reasons Americans are getting fatter.

Processed white bread is another big culprit, along with the plethora of "snack foods" out there.

I remember that we ate a good bit of white store-bought bread back then (sandwiches for lunch, sometimes store-bought white bread for supper). Okies call white store-bought bread "light bread". But we didn't get any snack foods. No cookies, no chips, no doughnuts, etc. Mama did usually make a pie or cake for dessert most nights, though.
