- More wealth and more choices now.
- More eating out now. Meals are bigger, sweeter, richer, etc.
- Less activity now. When I was a kid, video games were just getting started and most folks didn't own computers. TV & media was less engaging.
Food addiction seems more... refined these days. There is a lot less fat shaming too, although I'm not suggesting we bring it back. I think it did have an effect on reducing obesity though.
I grew up on fast food and TV dinners, so I don't see food being significantly more refined now, but I am aware there are newer ingredients(thickeners, texture modifiers, preservatives, etc).
