NW Wisconsin
There are a number of reasons why more people are obese now than 40-50 years ago. On farms we now have skid steers to clean out pens instead of manure forks, we have milking parlors and robots instead of milking machine buckets and cans, bulk feed bins instead of feed sack's, and bins for storage instead of corn cribs and granaries.

The general population eat too much processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy oils. Portion sizes at fast food restaurants is super sized with Big Macs and large sodas and French fries. We also were taught growing up to make sure we had clean plates and no self control on portion sizes. Comfort foods can be an issue to relieve stress can also happen.
