In the 70s and 80s parents were still able to be at home to make actual food for their children.
Since then, everyone is always on the run and everyone always relies on the cheapest fastest food that is available … ultra processed foods you can just pop in a microwave, heat and eat … or just plain old take out … and if you can’t afford decent take out, you buy the cheapest burger and fries you can find.
Do all that for 20 years and its a guarantee that you will have digestive issues later in life.
I have one friend who had a picky kid that he and his wife never really parented or seriously watched over. They were both busy with 9-5 jobs and they just let the kid do whatever he wanted from the time he was born. From the time he was toddler, all he ever demanded was fries and chicken nuggets - nothing but fries and chicken nuggets - always. I told them it was a bad idea and that it wasn’t good for the kid but its their family and all we could was watch. When the kid turned 11, they had to remove his gall bladder because of the bad diet and the kid has never had good health since.
Processed foods are also almost always loaded with sugar, even things you wouldn’t expect. Sugar is cheap, addictive and bad for your health in the quantities a lot of these foods contain, especially when consumed regularly.
