Oh I agree.
You only have to look at the life expectancy of old people in this country now who went through rationing in times of real austerity. They are living long lives because they are very well, just what they needed, nothing in excess.
They will live a hell of a lot longer than people of my generation who will see the life expectancy of this country plummet in the future due to the horrendous Western diets so many people have. The lack of good quality meat and birds; the complete omission of fish, shellfish, nuts, legumes, fruit, veg, flowers and water; and the overheating of simple sugars/refined carbs... despite people never being more economically wealthy.
Even when I was at school in the 90s there’d only be one or two fat kids in a year group. Now it’s approaching half!
