I think the 00s were the years we as a nation were most gluttonous. Everything was luxo and upscale, even things like Mac & Cheese got an upscale treatment. There's a restaurant here that sells nothing but mac & cheese and charges $7 a plate. Granted there is a PB&J place that does something similar but they've been around since mid-90s.
I'd even go so far as to say that the Boomers and the Xers all lived larger than they should have.
