I've also ...I find this topic very interesting. I've also read total calories consumed per head has also gone down, which is consistent with your fig 5.1. By a process of elimination, if obesity isn't due to total calories, or differing ratios of sugar, protein and fat, it must be due to either keeping the body warmer than previously, or doing less exercise. I don't think the former can have that much effect and I'm sceptical about exercise having enough effect. Firstly, 3 hob knobs is equivalent to walking 2.5 miles; and if you've walked 2.5 miles, you probably eat more than you would have otherwise.<br />I have no solution. Personally I, like many others, put losing a couple of inches from my waist down to eating more fat and protein and less carbohydrate. But on a population wide scale, this seems to conflict with the nutritional evidence of fig 5.1. We seemed to remain slim in the 70s by eating more sugar, the same amount of bread, cereal and pasta and significantly more potatoes. I guess it must be the exercise. Perhaps all the little physical things we had to do back then do add up to something significant?
