I think Americans are now trying to eat as healthy as they possibly could, they stopped eating more beef and eats chicken. they dont drink as much whole milk like they did before, nowadays people are getting almond milk, soy milk and all the rest of the good healthy milk. they eat less icecream but they still consume more cheese. They are cutting more sugar in their diets compared to some years back, now they opt to use corn-derived sweetners. I think the amount of income they earn has an impact on their diet, most people eat ceratin things because thats what they could afford at that time, and also if you got to a grocery store you will see more healthy products to be a little pricier than the normal brand. also knowledge could be a factor. I think nowadays most people are catious of what they put in their belly, you will see most people reading the back of the product to see what exactly is included. so the more knowledge they have the more healthier they will choose to live.
