Where did all the repugnancy about trans fats and gluten, etc come from?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) January 30th, 2011

When I was a kid [and it was long enough ago for me to carbon date myself] no one never fretted over gluten, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, etc. Not the school that served us our lunch, nor out parents, so why now? It wasn’t a problem 35+ years ago. It is like all of a sudden these things are attacking kids making them unhealthy. If they were always in stuff to some degree and kids didn’t flip out back then why worry so much about it now or is it some agenda by some group to control what we eat for whatever reason?
