Our ancestors have lived for millions of years eating proteins and carbohydrates mainly from meat, grains, and fruits, yet I they were pretty healthy.
I grew up eating steak Monday-Thursday in the 60s and I'm still alive. There are millions of starving African children and all people complain that they eat ramen noodles most of the time? This country has strange priorities.....
I am not sure what you mean. I have always cared what I have eaten and it has always been a wide variety of foods. What do starving children in Africa have to do with what I eat? There are starving people in my immediate area. What is your point?

Many of us have always cared about what we eat.
I grew up in the 60s as well, and our mother taught us healthy eating habits. We had two meatless days every week even back then, and had very limited red meat. We did have fish frequently (baked, not fried) and also a diet of mostly vegetables and grains.
People have been writing cookbooks for two thousand years. The finest food has always been the goal of the discerning individual. I don't care about starving children in Africa; I care about my palate. Given the number of cookbooks in print and restaurants in the world I believe that this is a nigh universal sentiment.

huh? There have always been starving African American children and starving children from most ethnic backgrounds, what does that have to do with your growing up on Steak in the 60s and still being alive?
As for how we eat, compared to our ancesters, most of us live longer and healthier than they did. if we would get off our duffs, and get more exercise, we would be in even better health. Of course a lot of our longivity is heredity, but a lot is what we eat. Our ancesters also worked in the fields and burned more calories.
It's not new, maybe you are just now noticing it. I've always cared about what I ate. I was raised that way, and my parents were raised that way also. Some people eat carbs and red meat...and some people don't. It's just a personal preference and I don't think it's a strange priority at all.
For some people, it's just now becoming apparent that our food supply has become entirely contaminated by chemicals, additives, preservatives, hormones, etc...used with nearly reckless abandon.
Information is more easily acquired and disseminated with the advent of the internet. I think people are taking the opportunity to learn about a lot of things.
Suddenly?? I have relatives who have been dedicated to the "natural foods" concept for years, and quite a few of the books they thrust under my nose date from the 1930's. (I've had fun calling it ti the attention of a few of the "trendies" who don't check copyright dates.)
