Not really, it's more like, we live long enough so the effects of bad diet and lifestyle become more apparent, rather than dying earlier of a disease. I don't think city-dwelling, working class people in 1900 ate 5 portions of fruit or vegetables each day either. |
No, but they also didn't eat McDonalds and other fast foods. Foods and drinks created without any natural products. Since 1900 we've added tons and tons of garbage and known cancer causing materials into our food/drinks and daily use products.
Before 1900 our way of manipulating plant and animals was through selective breeding. Now its through adding chemicals and other fake matter.
Watch the documentary Food Inc among many historical documentaries on how we've "progressed" over the last century.
