You left off the part where people didn’t sit down all day to work, sit down to drive a car everywhere, had more manual labor in their jobs, had more manual labor waiting at home and food didn’t come full of assloads of preservatives and cost far more for good food then bad.
I cut my own yard and do my own weeding.
I go to the gym at least 4 times a week and usually run 5 days a week.
The food problem is true.
The rest of the issues you brought up are easily rectified.

Old people loved adding sugar and fats.
But their portions weren’t massive.

That doesn’t absolve an individual from their personal choices, but is a huge problem solely in the USA.
A fun eye opener is to go and look at brands that are released in the USA and Europe and compare the ingredients.
It is insane how different they are and how poisoned food here is.

In the 1990s when big tobacco got exposed and sued, they pivoted and bought up numerous food industries and applied their same tactics to the diet that they had for selling cigarettes.
These principles involved making their product, no matter what it was, as affordable, accessible and addictive as possible.
It clearly worked. And now the American groecery stores and restaurants are filled with cheap, addictive, unhealthy, supply chains and foods. As one health covert called it, they are human pet foods.
To buy the same quality foods as the 1979s or 80s, you are likely going to pay much much higher costs now.
A box of little Debbie's are $2.50. A dozen organic apples are going to be 5x that....
It's not the consumers fault for trying to be able to buy affordable food. It's all due to the food manufacturers themselves.

People actually had to work during those times so they did not have the opportunity to sit their asses on the couch and get fat. Blame your government.

They just don’t sell them here.

Those have to be the Tiny Debbie's because I have seen them from $4.50 to $5.00

SUGAR AND BUTTER
Butter is a real food. The French use far more butter than we do in their diets, they just eat less of higher quality food. Placing blame on the type of food rather than the quantity for a given level of daily activity just demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of basic thermodynamics.

I know food is heavily regulated here in Germany and we see the results in our bodies and how we feel. America needs to do better regulating their food.

Thank you. People are fat because we have replaced real food in our diets.

Maybe but people still put it in their mouths. The problem isn’t what’s in the food. The problem is what people choose to eat.

To the downvoters, I can see that we have rooted you out. Some statement in that post must have hit a little close to home.
Know this. There is still time for you.
Do one or two things to improve yourselves.
1) walk around the block after dinner
2) cut back on the soda by 1/2. You will be amazed how the weight melts right off.
3) Drink water. Perhaps even throw in a crystal light single for some flavor.
Take a Look at yourself.
You can do better.
And you will feel better.

The problem isn’t what’s in the food. The problem is what people choose to eat.
Regulate the poison that these manufacturers can put in our foods.
You will never get people to stop shoveling food into their mouths, but you can get the manufacturers to, say, use real strawberries rather than strawberry flavored food dye chemical number 453.

This isn’t true. It might be true of restaurant food, but certainly not of groceries. Vegetables and fruits are cheap and all you need.

You don’t need to eat a full meal 3 times a day.
And to the OPer, real butter is not part of the problem. If we'd go back to using real butter and animal fats for cooking (like the people in the old photo used to do), instead of seed oils full of linoleic acid, we'd be alot better off. And on top of that, we often reuse the oil so it's rancid, which magnifies the toxicity. Unfortunately, animal fats don't have the shelf life that seed oils do, nor the low cost, so we'll never put that genie back in the bottle.
Look up the rising consumption of seed oils and linoleic acid, artificial sugars, high fructose corn syrup, food coloring, and preservatives, and watch how obesity, diabetes, colon cancer, and a multitude of other chronic diseases climb with it.
Meanwhile, simultaneously, consumption of meat, butter, animals fats and whole foods goes the opposite direction.
Real butter ain't the problem, but I'd venture to guess that she isn't using real butter on those taters anyway.
