MODERATORS
Our food is not as nutritious and we don’t exercise enough. We also have micro plastics, but they had lead and asbestos, so who knows on that.
It's survivorship bias combined with easily accessible media. Plenty of people died young back then but if it wasn't family or close friends you might not have heard of it until years and years later if at all. Some might assume friends just drifted away, it's life.
Same with appliances. People say old appliances were significantly better, and I understand in certain areas they might have been but if they were truly so great why aren't old appliances all over the play, plenty of old people still alive that wouldn't have bought new appliances just because.
