I don't know; I wonder if anyone knows.
After all, the USA was once a country of broad, healthy outdoorsy types, and that health pattern carried on well into metropolitan living, well into the late seventies.
And then the "TV dinner" approach was all dinners, and along came higher and higher calorie snacks. Americans became substantially less healthy in less than two decades. Through convenience shopping.
The same thing happened to the British at only a slightly smaller scale, and slightly later.
