Despite fewer visits to gyms and a love of high-fat foods, people in the 1960s were slimmer simply because they were more active, the government says.
Rates of obesity in English adults have risen from 1-2% in the 1960s to around 26% today, figures show.
Yet in 2010, overweight adults are far less likely to try to lose weight, a repeat of a survey done in 1967 showed.
Plus adults in the 1960s did more housework and used the car less, the Department of Health said.

Could you tell me/us how much that survey cost?

I knew this was going to happend in the UK when I visited in 2003. McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Dominos and KFC. No survey needed.

Stating the obvious.
I am very, very surprised they did not include a percentage graph for the number of households owning computers.

It would have been 0% in the 60s, unless you had an enormous house and employed a few people. 72% in 2008 according to Google.

Gosh, I'm a researcher all of a sudden

Perhaps you should write in and tell them, they might give you £50 and put you on the focus group.
