>People who are now 75-80 had much better nutrition than generations before them.

I think we have to separate the quality of the food (vitamins, fiber, protein, sodium, etc.) from the quantity that was available, and when. You can have the lack of food in certain periods in Finland in the last 75-80 years, e.g. due to WWII. At the same time it's possible to have better food quality in the same period, due to increased globalization, since Finland probably never had so much access to fruits and vegetables in winter as it does in the last 80 years.
