    Do you have any sources whatsoever or are you just making stuff up because you just dislike “they”.

    Of course people didn’t have to watch their intake as much earlier. Food is unhealthier and more plentiful than ever.

    Btw, why shouldn’t “they” blame you? It’s your own damn body. Of course the industry should be regulated more but that also applies to every industry.
