When I was growing up (50's and 60'), I don't remember much food in the house, and what we had was closely guarded by my mother. There wasn't a whole lot of snack food available either, not all that much in the stores and hardly ever in the house.
Exercise wasn't a priority in past generations. People were sedentary if they could be. Work wasn't a whole lot different - there were desk jobs and manual labor, maybe the proportion was different, but still there was no priority anywhere for people to exercise. People exercise more now than ever before.
