damn, boomer food was absolutely grim and industrial-looking. we've come a long way since.
Food can be imported desuThe poblem starts when bioweapons are imported
People unironically believed more in "TRUST THE SCIENCE" during the 50s, than today
>>18766064>Wait a second, you mean there's no fair trade certified organic lattes in 1965? What kind of Hell is this?soijackface.gif
>>18766064looks like a normal grocery store to me, except that it's a little unusual for so many items to be stacked both forwards and upwards like that.
>>18766071>>>/pol/
>>18766088Enjoy your meatloaf in aspic, with fruit cocktail in aspic for dessert.
>>18766064These grocery stores made the Soviet Union piss and shit themselves and question their very existence. Not just once, but twice, first in 1959 when Khrushchev visited a Quality Foods in San Fransisco and again in 1989 when Yeltsin visited a Randall's in Texas
>>18766732Literally what is wrong with aspic?
>>18766732>>18766088as for coffee, there's just a can of Folger's
>>18766737I would very much like to go back in time and visit a 1950s supermarket with no black people and lots of housewives in their best dress.
>>18766064>Laughs in 3d printed meat
>>18766787Impossible meat is better than real meat (and it's cheaper right now too lmao)
>>18766064nirvana compared to Eastern Europe back there where there wasn't even any food at all
>>18766739>literally what is wrong with processed bovine hoof
>>18766794And? That's not an answer.
>>18766064>that chick is like 80 years old nowthat's depressing
>>18766078Rightoids don’t like to admit it because they consider it the golden age of America but the period from 1933 to 1981 was the closest the us has ever been to actual communism (not modern radical liberalism masquerading as communism).
>>18766833you mean 1933 to 45? and no that was not the best time to live in. people were gnawing on tree bark and eating soup made from wild onions while roaming from town to town looking for work.
>>18766064Yet healthier than 70% of the slop we have today.
>>18766833t. radlib that would take the first portal back to the present the second he heard the factory workers down at the elks lodge complaining that mlk jr was a 'trouble maker that had it coming'
>>18766861>Yet healthier than 70% of the slop we have todaynah we're better now
long live the Jell-O Salads!
>>18766064Having a housewife who just buys massproduced slop instead of churning butter and baking bread like a real woman is pointless.
>>18766064packaged industrially produced slop has always been slopit just has better packaging nowthere was nothing stopping boomers from eating nothing but fresh local meat and producebuying a bag of flour to bake their own bread etc>>18766754i spent a few years as the general manager of a petco, when i was in my early-mid thirtiesa huge amount of my employees were young women, like 18-20, college students working part time, that sort of thingat no point in my life before or since have i been so popular with womenduring my 3 years there i had no less than 5 different girls ask me out and i could count on one hand the number of girls who didn't spend their entire shift trying to flirt with methe married ones were the worstabsolutely drowning in pussypoint being that women seem exceptionally weak to older male authority figuresand the fucker in this photo was probably one of the only men in this store that was staffed almost entirely with bored lonely housewiveslike it was this guy managing the place and maybe a male butcher or somethingi guarantee these guys were fucking their employees constantly, he probably already smashed half the women in that phoro
>>18766901>and the fucker in this photo was probably one of the only men in this store that was staffed almost entirely with bored lonely housewivesthe women in the pic mostly look pretty young, many probably unmarried. they're not MILFs or anything.
>>18766871>Heart disease is only dictated by dietHow long have you been on HRT
>>18766871well, also way lower rates of smoking. the average 50s-60s diet was generally ass though.
>>18766901>i guarantee these guys were fucking their employees constantly, he probably already smashed half the women in that photoThis was probably early 60s, it was pre-Sexual Revolution when society was still very conservative. Full-out hedonism wasn't really embraced until the 70s.
>>18766913You have a very sheltered view of history anon
>>18766871>midwit doesn't understand statisticsThat chart is showing how medical technology and our ability to treat heart disease has improved, not how overall health has improved.
>>18766913true, things changed a lot. women in the 60s were mostly expected to get married and be housewives soon after high school. by 1975 the idea of women working was much more normalized along with recreational drug use and fucking everything that moved.
>>18766833>persecution of communists>enforced racial segregation>socially conservative and militarized society>mixed corporatist economyIt was basically a fascist democracy.
>>18766924>>midwit doesn't understand statisticsNTA but this is laughably ironic coming from you because at best it shows that modern diets have no real effect on our health regardless.
>>18766871The first drugs to treat high blood pressure only became available in the 60s. Prior to that they couldn't do anything for it.
i remember a thread on a Civil War discussion forum where they talked about 19th century diets and the conclusion was they were not especially healthier than anything today
>>18766903>the women in the pic mostly look pretty youngthey look like they're in their late twenties at leastthe one near the front you can see the best is at least 30>many probably unmarriedpeople married younger and more frequently in the 1950s>>18766913lmaoyou are confusing social acceptance of promiscuity with promiscuity itselfthere has never been any point in human history where people didn't fuck each other every chance they gotthe more sexually repressed a society is, the more strongly people feel the urge to act outi guarantee these women with no socially acceptable outlet for their sex drives were fucking their managers at work nonstopwhere do you think the stereotype of the milk man fucking bored lonely housewives came from?these women lived at a time where it wasn't socially acceptable for them to hang out with male friendstheir manager at work was probably the only man they spent time around who wasn't a family memberplus authority figure bonus?any attractive manager was swimming in it
>>18766955Sure not when people ate tons of salted and pickled food because there was no refrigeration.
>>18766931Appreciate you showing up to provide another example of how the average person is too fucking stupid to understand the most basic statistics but no, that's not at all what it shows.
>>18766955The major difference is that unhealthy people back then simply never long enough to become an adult or pose in photos, due to sky high child mortality.
is this the thread?
>>18766979the same spammer is in here from that other 50s thread to tell us people were really always hedonistic sex fiends pre-boomer
The 50s were a big advancement just because of refrigeration so you could have exotic tropical fruits for the first time.
>>18766979This is called you trying REALLY hard to be right, but no. What that anon's chart shows is that heart disease in the US peaked between the 1950s and 1960s. If your argument is that food is worse today, that isn't good supporting evidence for it. You suck at parsing statistic my guy, just take the L and save yourself further embarrassment
>>18767028thanks, leaded gas fumes
>>18766981Delicious. Fuck Incel Keyes and all of his adherents
>>18767028back then people smoked like crazy and ate a ton of red meat and shitty boiled vegetables that leached all the nutrients out of them
>>18766724>makes /pol/ thread>complains when he gets a /pol/ answerAnon, I...
>>18766905High cholesterol, saturated fat, and being fat. Avoid those and you avoid atherosclerosis AKA the most common form of heart disease.
>McDonald'scorporatized in 1955 >Burger King1954>Kentucky Fried Chicken1952Really makes you think
>>18767191It was the golden age of Capitalism, where all you needed was a dream and a product
>>18766071Obsessed
>>18767197>someone else's dream and product
>>18766064I can't stand how sloppy people are dressed today even on their free time. You go to the grocery store and everyone's fat ass gut is hanging over a pair of pajama bottoms and a t shirt with cum stains on it. There used to be a sense of presentability among even the poorest of people.
>>18766857only Okies who didnt know how to farm were like that and they were fine once they made it to California to pick fruit.
>>18766064in the fifties many restaurants would proudly stack cans in their windows to advertise that they were hygienic unlike the dirty fucks down the road who made everything with their grubby hands.
>>18766833You're mistaken. The real part of American history that rightoids don't like to talk about is 1890-1930 because those were the years when unions and labor movements were violently suppressed by the richfags and then scrubbed from history textbooks. That's why they teach kids basically nothing about those decades in school beyond WWI and the great depression. They don't want them to know their country was ousted from their hands by jewish billionaire vampires from the gilded age.It's a miracle we even have any labor laws at all.
>>18766901They were staffed by men. White men the same age as your story bagging groceries, stocking shelves with their non-working wives keeping home. Guys who had been bayoneting Japs a decade before.
>>18766983>>18766979redditors think Mad Men wasnt limited to a small industry notorious for excess even in the decades after the sexual revolution.
>>18766064>>18766088>>18766737>>18766901The post-war period in America, specifically the late 40's and early 50's was basically a golden age of processed food. What we would consider "slop" today were at the time considered marvels of food processing, storage, and distribution, at the time with stuff like sugary cereals, frozen vegetables, boxed caked/pancakes, instant mixes, becoming wildly commercially available and being perceived as "hygienic" and futuristic. Combine these with other recent developments: the industrialization and commercialization of agriculture & stock animals, AND the American trucking industry, and you now have all the ingredients necessary for fast-food chains and these massive grocery stores to flourish.People got so attached to processed food because they had grown up in a period where previously anything "fresh" (that you didn't produce yourself) ran the risk of food borne illnesses from expiration, contamination, or outright fraud. Large food processing and packaging companies however entered into a collaborative "race" with each other, and the Federal Government, to try and establish food regulations that would mutually benefit THEIR facilities, penalize competition, and get their products on shelves, schools, etc.
>>18767226>bayoneting Japs a decade beforeLook, chump.This is a guy, from what I understand, told everybody he was a war hero, right?Island-hopping, practically liberated the pacific all by himself, with a knife in one hand, a gun in the other, and yards of jap guts between his teeth. And now it turns out this dope spent the war sitting on his ass... In some boat yard in San Diego...The 50's were based and built on bullshit. The more things change...The guys who actually served in the pacific campaign came back as basket cases me thinks.
>>18767305nobody who has actually been in combat wants to talk about it. the braggarts are always a guy who was folding blankets behind the lines.
>>18767265that was thanks to WWII bringing major advances in food shipping and processing for the military
>>18766983DNA tests exposed how many boomers moms were the town bicycle.
>>18767446Lol. Lmao.
>>18766064ive heard enoughmore tax cuts for boomers
>>18766064Margarine was chemical slop that was marketed as being a healthy alternative to butter. Food companies could outright lie in their ads, and in many cases the FDA would back them up because companies bribe executives at the FDA.
>>18767446^This.
>>18767527but i always read in school that naughty manufacturers used to put toenail clippings and dried boogers in food until Theodore Roosevelt started the FDA and set them straight. you mean history books are full of shit?
>>18767527Now guess why the 50s-60s had such a high rate of heart disease.
>>18767531The FDA was corrupt already by the 1950s. Today they recommend babies get 72 vaccines because the pharmaceutical companies bribe FDA officials.
>>18767527i'm not sure what lobby started the bacon-and-eggs breakfast meme
>>18766980a lot of children died in the 50s from diseases they couldn't treat then or from drinking chemicals in unsecure and unlabeled containers. it used to be common for people to do things like store gasoline or solvents and whatnot in glass bottles in the garage and kids would drink it thinking it was juice or something and die. boomers be like "ah, but we were so tough compared to today's kids we survived a world with no car seatbelts or childproof caps and..."well, _you_ survived, a lot of your peers didn't.
>>18767506>have boomers going "i had four siblings and we always wondered why my brother Ed looked so different from the rest of us and why he resembled that guy who used to tune our piano."
>>18767206it's a scotch-irish recipe
>>18767542Bacon and eggs isn't going to kill you. The biggest causes of premature death are stress, isolation, and depression.
oh god
>>18766930Closest to communism not communist
>>18767685>The popularity of Jell-O salads fell off in the 70s due to changing consumer tastes and by 1977 the non-fruit flavors had been retired.[3]
>>18766754that generation had been in a world war they had a very military mindset. he looks like a general reviewing his troops.
>>18767624the true evil nature of women was only exposed since OnlyFans became a thing
>>18767625
>>18767653>Bacon and eggs isn't going to kill you. The biggest causes of premature death are stress, isolation, and depression.Heart disease is the #1 killer of the human species. Processed red meat with fried (in beef tallow) eggs every morning is not heart healthy. By any objective metric.

>>18768211my grandma met Elvis and had the opportunity to have sex with him but according to her his balls stunk
>>18768211>everyone in the 50s died after losing control of their car while coughing from blood from their asbestos filtered cigarettes laced with radium driving while on a cocktail of amphetamines, prozac and sodium barbitol on their way to cheat on their husband/wife with their gay lover blowing their leaded fuel tank propelling their ass through the window because they have no seatbelts, leaving their daughter alone to get pregnant at 15 from the creepy neighbor who promised to marry her and 12 year old son to accidentally shoot himself with the winchester .22 daddy bought him on a whim thanks to his ww2 PTSDwow, how did anyone survive the heckin' awful 1950s
