Thr problem in the US (and I am assuming the UK and much of western society) is that we are use to eating high fat and processed foods. Being of greek ancestry I remember the late 1960s when all my grandparents were still alive, there was always a salad, fish was common and olive oil was in every household. Going out to a diner or restaurant was a few times a yr, McDonalds was twice a yr and pizza was a few times a yr. The rest of the meals were cooked at home and at both my grandparents homes, the bread was always homemade. Nowadays, all the food is processed, trans fat laden, cheapened (i.e. canola or soy oil as opposed to olive oil or butter).
