This is really difficult to answer. The change in eating habits has been
enormous. People eat more and differently but I think those that are 85
years old now have only eaten home made foods all their lives. I don't
really know what you mean with rich foods either. And I think we could have
a different view on what whole foods are. These are American expressions and
to me just as odd as the expression balanced food.

Sweden was not in the second world was but the same thing happened here.
People were a lot healthier during the war than before and after.
