red dogs and donuts
Why do people think families ate healthier in the olden days (1960′s downwards)?
When in fact moms cooked cakes, pies, brownies and cookies most days and piled all that fat and sugar into their children’s bodies.
Children were fed ice cream, burgers (with cheese slices and ketchup) and coca cola at summer.
At the drive in/movie theatre children were fed buttered popcorn, hot dogs (covered in mustard or ketchup), candy bars, nachos (covered in cheese) and soft drinks.
At the fair/circus children were fed cotton candy, caramel apples, funnel cakes, donuts and other JUNK!
ugh all that salt, sugar and FAT!
Also mothers cooked food in lard and tallow, and gave their children a lot of pork, red meat, white bread spread with real butter and lots milk; ugh all that FAT and EMPTY CALORIES!
I wish I could FORCE people to eat healthily like me; my diet consists of steamed celery, muesli and cocos.
In the olden days as you put it, most foods were not yet factory farmed. Animals which are factory farmed require large doses of antibiotics to keep them alive long enough to reach butchering age. High fructose corn sweetener had not yet been invented. Food was not nearly as processed and there were very few food additives unlike there are today. Also kids grew up outdoors, running, playing, riding their bicycles, not parked in front of a television, computer or video game system. People had very active lifestyles and as such burned many more calories. These days most foods are highly processed, loaded with chemical additives, chemical flavorings and chemical colorants. It is all but impossible to find foods which are not genetically modified or loaded with high fructose corn sweetener (HFCS). HFCS is a major contributor to obesity, type 2 diabetes and ADD/ADHD. It is not equivalent to table sugar as studies funded by the soda industries and the Corn Processors Association would have you believe. Take a kid off HFCS and red #5, quit feeding them a diet chocked full of carbs and watch the symptoms of ADD/ADHD go away.
