    • @rsoubiea
      @rsoubiea หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      No that’s not true. Everything was processed, packaged or from a box. I know my family was pretty typical for N. California, my mom cooked from scratch most nights. But deserts, things like hamburger helper, sloppy joes were things mom would make to give herself a break from cooking with three kids, being a full time housewife. Dad went on a lot of business trips, she’d use the shortcuts then. She used a lot of canned or frozen veggies, NO fresh herbs. we did have a green salad every night.

    • @tammythomas975
      @tammythomas975 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    • @amandasmith308
      @amandasmith308 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      Not true. Cans had no liners, additives were in every single thing on the shelf with no monitoring. The problem was that almost every middle class meal was made with fully processed foods. Fat was not the issue and the government started the death match on Americans when it decreed fat was bad for us. If we had today's fresh options with good old fashioned homemade breads and rolls and real butter, food fried in crisco or seasoned with old fashioned pork fat and bacon our hearts would be better, our brains in tact, and cancers in half.

    The reasons don’t really make any sense. They’re all still good desserts. I think the reason why most of these are “forgotten” is because more people eat out now and less cook and eat from home. The stay at home mom whom cooks up a good family dinner and makes dessert is very sadly a dying breed.
