We’re in the midst of an obesity crisis, despite being obsessed with diet & clean eating. In the 1950's people were significantly thinner, whilst being less conscious about what they were eating.

In this mini documentary I explore the differences in calorie intake and expenditure between the 1950s vs today. Is it just about having a more sedentary lifestyle and are we burning the same amount of calories as the slimmer population 50 years ago?

Either way, it’s obvious our lifestyles have changed and we’re more overweight than ever before. Learn about some of the key factors affecting our diet and lifestyle today. What is the trump factor?
