Thought you guys might like this. Slightly long read.

Article details the composition of the American diet from the late 18th century onwards, in which Americans ate a huge amount of meat and few vegetables.

Very relevant to our diet choices now, and likewise to the explanation of how Western society got to the obesity epidemic it now has.

Article concludes by providing data that correlate the rise in heart disease and adiposity with the increase in vegetable (or grain)/carb consumption increase provided by new foods and the refrigerator.

Nice read for anyone wondering how diet in America has changed over the last century.
