Seem like the magic age was 12 for have wine at a meal. Cakes, pies and cobbler were alway fresh.

Now .... 2% Milk, 1% Milk, multigran breads (I do like tuscan multigran however), artificial sweeteners, low fat cooking oils and mayo and everything else low fat / low cal or diet this and that... Don't eat red meat or fatty meat and stay away from sweets.
Low fat , low cal and diet crap ................ low flavor

Are we really better off and healthier now?

Hell, it wasnt until I was 17 was there a video game system in the house, and as a kid we never had more that 5-8 channels of TV to watch.

Computer? Only time we had that was for about a week when dad would bring one home from school over christmas break, and at that each of us kid was allowed to play Oregon Trail ONCE per day.
Cell phone? Yeah right.

People eat out too much nowadays and that can lead to blowing out your diet plans as well

As you mentioned there was no computers or videogame systems. My dad spent his time at home fixing things around the house or working on the car. My mom cleaned house and took care of/played with us kids. Today, a lot of adults come home from work and sit on the couch watching television all night and/or getting on the computer (Sorry OC). I guess you can add all of us to that list as well.
