here is a better one.

There were always overweight people who ate too much. The difference in 1977-1978 was that "normal" people were not eating any more, they were just eating the wrong things.

Obesity hit the lower class very hard in the late 70s and early 80s. Virtually all cheap food became processed food, and all processed food became corn syrup based. They used to be able to live off junkfood without becoming obese, but junkfood changed.

The body processes HFCS differently than other sugars. People were eating the same and exercising the same as they were in 1985 as they were in 1975, but they were mysteriously gaining weight uncontrollably. It wasn't videogames or cable televison that did this...

tl;dr

Don't eat processed food and excercise more to avoid these health hazards.
