The 1970s Diet Series Information

The series, from production company Orchard Studios, sees Josie immerse herself in the food, drink and health culture of the 1970s in an attempt to see whether eating like we did in the ‘70s might actually make us healthier? After all, in 1970, only around 10% of British people were classified as obese*. Now it’s at least three times that … (by some measures it’s around 63%!). So, what changed? And could an era written off as one of the “unhealthiest” decades in British history, actually have something to teach modern dieters?
