    (Born in 1958) We didn't eat all day long. Ate breakfast, went out to play or work. Came in for lunch, then back out. Back for dinner. Maybe dessert, but no more. We did not snack all day long. Trying to get back to eating that way.

      UA-cam has thousands of recipes you can make in decent time I think my best was making pot pie. Takes awhile but I make enough for like four meals I don’t mind eating leftovers. All these people who make videos of different dinners have just a few hundred or few thousand views. But if someone mixes sugar with soda and krap themselves and pukes themselves has millions of views. Expert videos that most will never make get good views. Most people will watch Gordon Ramsey and never make the meal. And Evan than most tik tok cooking requires an entire package of valvita cheese. Than some make salads and just throw it away and eat oatmeal crème pies

      Kids never took snacks to school. Maybe one small cupcake without icing. One sandwich with one slice of cheese. We drank from the water fountain not sipping water all day or fruit juices. We walked to and from school, or ran.

      You can't go back to 1958 methods of eating , since nowadays food is not as much nutrient dense as it was back in the days. What we lack today is not calories but minerals , and our body if subsidising this by eating and demanding more food, this is why we snack a lot , even if we are given the optimal p/f/c ratio we still crave more since the foods are now made to have optimal macronutrients for us giving away the micronutrients profile. And this is also a big problem with intensive agriculture where wheat is basically hybridized to a point it can grow and ripe in 3 months , while if we look 100 years back wheat was sowed in september/october and harvested in july/august and it had a lot more micronutrients than today and yeah it had also less macro nutrients specially carbohydrates.

    (6:01) #2. Sufficient fresh air & plenty of outside play. Reduces stress, helps weight control & improves sleep.
    (7:29) #3. Go to bed earlier. Poor sleep can sabotage your whole recovery program.
    (8:53) #4. Try to have a bowel movement daily on a regular schedule. Fiber, whole foods, grains w/ bran & plenty of water.

      Because food industry must make money , I mean you can only sell normal food to normal people by X amount , but what if you make them crave something ? People will start increasing their intake of this stuff become obese and eat a shitload of food, if pl in america actually start counting what they eat they can see that portion in america is ridiculous , up to 1500 kal in 1 serving like ?? , this is how pepsi-co became massive and also juice sellers, sugar is a drug and it should be labeled as that , is an empty 4 cal per 1 gram that has no micronutrients just carbs , just like alcohol , but alcohol is labeled as bad while sugar is labeled as tasty and great preservative witch is shifting perspective.

    Interesting book. I looked it up and it’s a compilation of articles by different contributors. The writer of the section you are referencing is Dorothy Reed Mendenhall. Here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia: “Dorothy Mabel Reed Mendenhall (September 22, 1874 - July 31, 1964) was a prominent pediatric physician specializing in cellular pathology. In 1901, she discovered that Hodgkin's disease was not a form of tuberculosis, by noticing the presence of a special cell, the Reed-Sternberg cell which bears her name.[1] Dorothy was one of the first women to graduate from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She was also one of the first professionally trained female physicians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.”

    My grandmother was a great cook, and she lived through two wars. She and my grandfather used to start the days with a fried breakfast (bacon, eggs, tomatoes, occasionally a sausage at weekend) and a slice of toast, washed down with a couple cups of tea. Midday cuppa with a home made biscuit. She made all her food from scratch, brought quality, and even shared buying half an sheep or cow etc with relatives,which was butchered into the components for freezing. Her steak and kidney puddings (boiled on the stove in a pan covered with a cloth and tied with a string ) were the best. I’ve never tasted so good since. Lunch consisted of salads in summer, with cold meats, winter they were cut to only warm days , the rest was warming foods like sausage casserole, stews, cheese on toast, cottage or shepherds pie, steak and kidney pie (only crust on top), left overs with omelettes, poached egg on toast, washday lunch, cold meats and pickles with warm new spuds etc. (Lunch was the main meal of the day once they retired). She would get through 18 eggs a week with her making and baking. Her bread was amazing, her crumbles and pies were so delicious. I was a skinny kid and spent a lot of time with my gran. At night we would have a cup of warm milk to help us all sleep, and we did. Even when all the fast food came out she stuck by getting her ingredients from M&S and made her own, she would turn her nose up at pizza, anything that came in a plastic dish. She cooked her own and lived independently until her death at 90, as she had a fall getting off a bus and that was her decline…..😢I try and emulate her, but with a hubby and his sweet tooth that can be hard at times. 😂 My philosophy is if you don’t know what the ingredients are on t eh label, don’t touch it. Make as much a you can from scratch, which can’t be hard as we have all the gadgets, my gran still had a twin tub into the 90’s, pegged out her washing, Ironed, walked miles and Jen the house clean …

My mom born 1918, who lived to 102, she loved Gaylord Hauser's Secrets of the Stars a 1940's Hollywood salad with every dinner guy. Meat, veg, some fruit and cake once a week. Eggs and butter are fine! Eat from the garden all summer so more or less vegan for 3 months, Autumn, the meats in roasts and stews. Greens are good, milk not so much! Maybe a chocolate bar.

    Autumn this was hands down one of your best videos! I’ve been thinking and saying for years that with all of our advances in medicine, science and technology, we have gone completely backwards in terms of overall health. Unfortunately the vast increase in food options we have today translates to a vast increase in availability of poor choices that are detrimental to our bodies and minds. 100 years ago, our ancestors ate fresh food seasonally, locally and for the most part, very wisely. They preserved and canned what they could or purchased from local farmers. Grandmothers and mothers passed down their knowledge and techniques to the next generation. Sure, perhaps Grandma made an apple pie for dessert. But probably only for Sunday, not one every night of the week. It was considered a treat. Families came to the table hungry (because they were physically active and there were no in between meal snacks) and actually ate their meal together, sharing not only wholesome and freshly prepared food but their experiences from the day. It was a time to share and learn. Kids were helping with chores or entertaining themselves with games, like playing ball in a field, not channel surfing, or having sedentary screen time. I’m a nurse and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and anxiety/depression in children would absolutely astound you. If we don’t rein this in for our children and grandchildren now, I don’t even want to imagine what the next 100 years will look like for the future generations. 😢

We also have a lot of savoury and sweet pastries with various fillings. Kids like them a lot. I personally think they should be eaten as dessert, but kids will be kids.

      That is the _real_ difference today. Obesity burst upon us in the 1980s...it was _sudden._ It's not so much the amount of exercise. It's not even so much the change of eating habits for "fast" food. The difference between my childhood in the 50s and 60s and today is the quality and composiion of the food supply. The food supply was practically organic back then. When I was a kid, "fast" food was the ordinary food our mothers would cook...just prepared in a casual restaurant. A hamburger was still _grassfed,_ locally sourced ground beef. The bun was traditional wheat, even though processed, it was still just wheat. Even a TV dinner was ordinary food that was frozen. If that was the kind of "fast" food people were still eating today, we would still be okay. But that changed in the 70s and 80s, when fast food became highly _manufactured_ as you said.

    I grew up a mountain girl and then moved to Nebraska and married a dairy Farmer. We had raw milk every single day as long as we were married -when I was pregnant and nursing both my kids I would drink at least half a gallon of raw milk a day. We brought home 2 gallons of milk every single day from the bulk tank after we were done milking, letting it sit overnight so the cream could rise to the top and I could skim it in the morning. We use horse manure from the paddocks to fertilize our garden and I canned like crazy and I would go and pick chokecherries and wild raspberries to make jam with, I had strawberries apple trees and a grape vine at home for canning and we butchered our own beef, a neighbor lady would raise chickens and butcher them for you all you had to do is tell her how many chicks she needed to buy for your order and they were running around free range until it was butcher day.
    Working with the horses and raising my own cattle I was outdoors all the time and it was a very nice lifestyle looking back. funny how everybody wants to live out in the country now and have that kind of lifestyle and when we did do it we wanted to be City slickers and have life a little easier.

There’s 1000’s of diets out there and will perhaps help for a while. However most are unsustainable for long term. I love to view films from the 30’s to the 70’s and marvel at how 95% of the people walking around are slim. So much of the food choices in the stores today were not available even in the 70’s. In the early 2000’s I purchased a 1942 Better house keeping cooking/instruction book for new housewives at a yard sale. Now anytime I feel I need to get my diet under control I only cook using recipes from this book. It of course only uses whole food and no prepackaged ingredients for every meal. It’s more labor intensive however the food is more “as we use to say “ rib sticking and I find I eat less and feel better.

    Food prices were very different. If you read late 19th and early 20th century books, people often ate steak for breakfast as an every food, but chicken was more expensive all winter. Eggs and butter were very expensive. People on the East coast called the evening meal, "tea", and it was lighter than " dinner" which was lunch. Bakery bread was constantly complained about, but poor people may have not had heat or fuel to make bread. Cornbread or biscuits, made from scratch were eaten daily. I notice eating habits really changed when mothers entered the workforce, and divorces increased. People stopped having sit down family dinners made from scratch. When I was a small child in the 1960's, it was very rare to see an obese person. Everyone would stare because it was rare. Unfortunately, as women entered the workforce, convenience foods, fast food and skipping family dinners became common, and by the mid-1970's, many were overweight. Girls used to have mandatory Home Economics, and boys could take a Bachelor Living class, as well as shop. The changes in curriculum hurt poor women the most because they didn't learn about cooking and nutrition, despite their limited budgets. I think everyone should have 1 semester of cooking, but girls should have 3 semesters so they become experts at planning easy, low cost, tasty and nutritious meals. Girls from poor backgrounds should get 4 semesters because it's harder to make nutritious meals on a budget. Instead of young people wasting so much time on sports, it would be better if they learned to grow produce and make compost. At least they would get fresh food for their labors. You can't eat a trophy.

      When I was in 4th grade, a kid took out a candy bar to eat half for his "snack". The teacher raged out (possibly menopause related) and threw the candy bar across the class and sent him to the office and he replied with "but that's my lunch". His parents really sent him to school with no money and a candy bar and I can understand why that would make a teacher angry. Definitely not right for her to take it out on the kid and his poor candy bar that got wrecked. It was one of those moments as a kid where I could see all sides of what was going on and the misdirection of the teacher's anger.

Even if he added a spoonful of sugar, that would be a minute fraction of what’s in a soda. That’s it. Try ordering a burger in a restaurant today.

    More than likely people drank raw milk from their own cows or local cows in the 1920’s and grains were different back then as well. They were modified in the 1950’s and later for better yields and the dna was changed and they are extremely unhealthy now. Most vegetables were home grown as well and they didn’t use chemicals on the crops like they do now and our ground has been so depleted of nutrients and the vegetables and fruits have been modified as well that they really aren’t nutrient dense like they used to be.

      The soil has been depleted on commercial farmlands, but chances are that the soil in your backyard is okay. Replacing even a portion of your produce with some home grown veggies can help, especially if you grow heritage varieties. We made pasta sauce using our own tomatoes, garlic and basil last night. The only things we added were salt and olive oil. We used Clara's recipe from her YT Channel. I think it's Great Depression Cooking? Anyhow, it was mind blowing.

      It's not the vegetables hurting us. It's the huge quantity of sugar, oil, empty carbs, and salt all packaged up in convenient engineered food that makes us overeat for pleasure. Eat real foods, like they would have eaten, or even better with modern Knowledge on nutrition. Animals only eat and concentrate chemicals, so that very much ain't the answer.
