100 years ago, people ate healthily and lived in a far cleaner environment. These days, food is loaded with preservatives, colourings, flavour enhancers, stabilisers, etc, etc, etc, sprayed with chemicals and genetically modified to grow faster, give bigger yield and to be more resistant to pests and disease. Then we take it and blast it with radiation in the microwave. Cars and industry spew chemicals into the atmosphere which rain down on us or damge the ozone layer allowing dangerous levels of solar radiation down to ground level, drugs and medications are readily available, there's the pill and estrogen can be detected in water supplies because we're peeing the hormones out, there are carcinogenic chemicals in every day beauty products, even the foundation you wear on your face, and our homes are regularly sprayed with chemicals.
