How have the labor trends shifted in the last 50, 100 years?
Labor intensive jobs(also calorie intensive) are down. Even the jobs that remain have more of the physical demands taken out i.e. using an airgun to frame up a house instead of a hammer.

Not a big mystery there. Food used to be expensive and cakes only available in special occasions. Now I can get a cake delivered to my home within half an hour without getting up from my chair and it costs me about 15 minutes worth of paid work.
Our individual choices are ours to make, but they don't happen in a vacuum. Cultural signals, environmental factors, biological processes, uncritically reinforced habits, etc all shape what choices we're inclined towards and what choices look implausible or untenable.
There's been a shocking shift in weight management and general wellness over the last hundred years, that seems to creep into every country that assimilates with " modern" culture, and it's prudent that we collectively understand why, because we probably should do something about it on that same collective scale.
