You'll notice that every correct survey answer but ONE represents a high sugar/starch,
high carbohydrate food? (And the answer of "beef" was said to be inclusive of
hamburgers - complete with bun!) This 1970's show indicates that before the
"Low-Fat" craze that began a few years later, Americans understood the sweet
starchy stuff was piling on the pounds. Being told to eat more carbs, less fat
in the following years made America go from a 34% obesity rate to a 54% rate.
Is this progress?!
Among the incorrect answers given were "bacon" and "butter."
