Question: Has there been any changes in girls eating habits over time?

I think there have been changes over time, but not just in girls, but across the board. Portions, for example, have increased massively, even just over the last few decades – a McDonald’s burger back in 1955 was less than half the size of the current burgers. We eat a lot more fast-food, and convenience meals, and we eat out of the home more than ever now – this leads to diets which are higher in fat, salt and sugar than in the past.
