Do you think we have become more sickly these days?

Asked by LornaLove (10037points) July 9th, 2013

It seems we are a lot more health conscious, we understand things like sugar is bad for us, bad fats good fats, exercise is good for us and so on. So why are we so sickly these days? So many people I know have died so young. So many younger people are having heart attacks and strokes.

My own family had little regard for health as in that they smoked, drank and ate whatever they liked. They were not obese and lived long lives both dying near their 80’s. I am not using my family as a universal sample but more as an example.

Why do you think this is happening if we are so healthy these days and know so much?
