A member asked:

Were kids raised in 1940s healthier than those raised in 1950s?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I think so: I was in england and rationing decreased calorie intake. Everyone was healthy. We in america eat far too much and a great deal of it is empty calories. After the war the calories went up and health declined. Unhealthy diet is a huge cause of disease and the health in this country now is appalling.
