Show me one food from the 70's that isn't healthier than today's version. All the chemicals they put in food now days may increase the shelf life of the food but it won't increase YOUR shelf life!
ok, too easy. everything with nonhuman fellow animal products. Whereas now there’s good healthy versions. you’re correct there’s more artificial chemicals now but it doesn’t mean it was healthier.
That's why America is the sickest country in the world and our healthcare isn't free..Make that make sense 🤦🏽♀️ It's like one gigantic pyramid scheme 😳
Even produce tasted better back then. Some say we're imagining that because as we get older our perception of taste changes. But if you eat homegrown produce, you know that's not the case.
Maybe if more people wanted to work for a living, such as on a farm growing food and their ingredients, the food we eat wouldn't need to include all the extras to feed the population that has grown EXPONENTIALLY since a lot of these foods have been introduced. Maybe more people need to quit expecting everyone else to do everything for them EXACTLY how they want it...
I totally agree with you right there a Newer food Amendment s need to be made and signed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris themselves and I totally believe and agree with this brand New direction plans for the future now
Corn syrup and high fructose are poisonous into the food industry now and they should try black pepper and Turmeric ingredients powerful healthy based ingredients now right now
I agree , there should be a movement to move away from plastic and back to glass. There used to be nothing more refreshing for me than an Orange Crush in the old dark brown bottle on a hot day.
Dog 'n Suds Root Beer from the tap in a big glass at a Drive-In served by a car hop. My parents remember those days, and so do I - just barely. I think I was 7 or 8 the last time we went to a Dog 'n Suds.
This is a great video. I grew up as a child in the 60's and 70's , graduated from high school in the 70's and ate all of these snacks or sugary cereals like captain crunch or froot loops or whatever. There was no epidemic of childhood obesity back then but i thought it was because kids were so much more active. In the 60's and 70's kids would go out and play after breakfast or lunch and be out all day and would return till dinner time. There was no electronics to tie us down so we were always running around and we seemed to have boundless energy. We were always running around , riding bikes, at the playground or the park. I played sports and literally had no fat, I was skinny the whole time and so were other kids I knew yet we ate all those products. This video makes sense. Thank you 😊
Just look at videos of crowds of people back in the 60s,70s, even 80s there were far few fat or obese people especially kids. Its obvious our foods are making us fat sick and tired and big pharma is laughing all the way to the bank. Sad.
True but I think you're missing the point and thats the sad part as so many people are willfully ignorant of what's in our food today and it wasn't nearly as bad as it was just a few decades ago. Replacing real cane sugars with beet sugars and corn syrup and plasticizers and seed oils for example. But even worse our foods are contolled by a hand full of corporations and its getting worse all the time. Its not just the so called junk foods but the bleached breads void of wheat germ protiens and preservativies and processed foods that are touted as healthy. Very deceptive and misleading stuff. But yeah everyone can decide for themselves. You have yourself a great day.
I’m showing this video to my grandkids. They always scoff at me when I say these food tasted way better when I was a kid and I just can’t eat any of them now. Mac n cheese especially which was my favorite as a kid. I make mine from scratch
Yeah. I was an 80's baby and I remember certain food tasting better. Coke for example was made with real sugar (and the ones in Mexico that they import to the USA still do).
I could imagine the public showing a preference for natural food items if they were offered, even if it has a slightly elevated cost. If I could buy a food item, and had to pay a few cents extra for the natural ingredients, I would gladly pay the difference.
What got me was once I stopped by a local coffee shop, it is a famous chain in Canada. Not hard to figure out, I bought a muffin and coffee took went for a hike. Not eating the muffin I put it in the console of a black vehicle this was in march and forgot all about it. I was looking for something in the car around September/ October I came across this bag and remembered want it was. Thinking I had a science experiment being a guy I looked in and found it was the same as the day I bought it wasn’t even hard it felt like it just came out of the oven. I have never been back to that chain or pretty much all fast food places, I only buy baked goods if I don’t make them myself is buy from a mom and pop shops.
@@denisefarmer366 how many chemicals are in this stuff, such a shame. The younger people keep saying what was so great about the 60’s-70’s-80’s well this is one thing. Less chemicals in our foods.
Also what gets me as in Canada I can only talk about, but they talked about paper was such a bad thing paper bags for groceries, lunches, garbage bags. So move to plastic so we save trees, not to mention the bags were made from pine/ spruce/ and end cuts that were not good for anything but for making the pulp. Now plastic is a bad thing, now we are back to making paper bags that are a lot cheaper made, and everything is fine. This is why I sit with a lot of younger people and talk with them having them understand to question everything, if you don’t understand get them to make you understand. Don’t be shy and ask the questions.
Yes. We all grew up moving around tons more. Just bot having computers or cell phones. You could talk on the phone… until someone else needed it. You could watch tv… but we only started having options beyond scheduled tv (ie. 3-5 networks with their channel programs, and no replays or repeats. If you want the new episode of Little House on the Prairie or Charlie’s Angels, you had to tune in the scheduled day and time.) We played in the neighborhoods. We did sports, learned instruments. Rode bikes. Skated (later, bladed). We just were not glued to screens. And the summer I spent in Tonga, I ate well but lost 8 pounds in 2 months. No chemicals in the foods.
@5:45 i believe a few short uears ago, there was a consumer protest that made Kraft use a little papyrika instead of artificial coloring in the cheese pack.
I'm 59-years old and ate my first Twinkie 6-years ago. I don't know what they tasted llike in the old day, but the one I ate had a chemical taste....YUCK!
We ate these items in moderation. But the ingredients were basic as talked about in this video. We also had family meals too. Obesity wasnt a problem back then like it is now. It just wasn't. I was there then and now.
Darn! I don't feel safe eating any these foods now. I catch myself reading all the ingredients in everything we buy to eat now. Most now say contains bio engineered ingredient.
OMG. This makes so much sense to me. So many of these foods I used to eat and liked/loved them. Over time, I felt they tasted different, most of which I didn't like them anymore. My (narcissistic) husband always told me I was crazy, losing my mind, making things up, or dreaming up weird conspiracies. I wish I knew these things back then. I guess I was right after all. They were changing how they made these things, hence the somewhat off taste.
My friend who grew up in the 50s and 60s always complained about how food tasted better back then. I used to tell him well everything tasted better because you were just a kid. Now I think he was right!
Make everything at home from ingredients you know are as "clean" as possible. That is the only answer to today's garbage. Old enough to remember when there was actual food in the cans and glass containers. Tasted way better too. Always make my own bread. Used to like Frito corn chips....bought a bag one time ate a couple, threw out the rest of them...that was the last time I ate them and that was many years ago.
I was born in 1981, so I grew up in the 80s and 90s. The one thing I remember is that cereals like fruit loops, honey comb, cocoa puffs, frosted flakes, fruity pebbels, all tasted much better back then. And we never had snack cakes very often, but back then I remember them not tasting purely like chemicals like they do today. I mean by the 80s and 90s there were chemicals and additives in foods, but I'm thinking they were different and/or not as much as today. And you can taste the difference.
Twinkies were real sponge cake and cream filling and really good . They are a completely different thing now and should be called faux twinkies just like so many other junk food snacks
People pro capitalism without regulation are nuts. THe ultra Rich people are going to make money regardless and the regulation needs to be made to follow them more. make things better for the rest of us by getting these chemicals and greed out of society!
In other words, in order to increase profits, food manufacturers were allowed to push life shortening chemicals onto the public. Over- site groups either turned a blind eye or were paid off. The same is true for our law makers. All these chemicals is why so many Americans foods are banned in European countries.
Almost all of the dark sodas now have phosphate added too. Phosphate was a fertilizer that was found not to be good on crops so they sold it as a preservative. People with kidney disease need to limit phosphates plus phosphates can add to osteoporosis
The first time I noticed high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients list was in the late 70s, on a can of Hawaiian Punch. Another thing I remember was liking Hershey bars. The last time I had one was 2 years ago, and I hated it. No, I’ve never lost my sweet tooth, and love Cadbury and some other chocolate brands l but the Hershey bar tasted a bit like vomit. Most processed foods are much too salty for me to stand. No wonder I can’t enjoy Campbell’s soup, among other items.
Try Lily’s chocolate and Bake Believe for healthier chocolate. They’re sweetened with stevia and have only “clean” ingredients. I was glad to find them to have a guilt-free treat now and then. My favorite is the Dark chocolate baking chips… yum! Both are available from Wal Mart and sometimes Target.
I remember very clearly the twinkies tasting way better back then. The sponge cake had a sweeter flavor and the cream in the middle was more vanilla. It was delicious and I honestly saw a change in the early 2010's when hostess got taken over by a new company and their snack cakes now taste like chemicals and the flavor is not even close to what it was. Another thing that tasted better back in the day were Oreo Cookies and Chips Ahoy cookies.
Had to get 'em hooked first and make 'em think "It's normal". Then do the harmful "bait 'n' switch". TV was healthier in the '70s too... and even healthier than that in the '60s and '50s.
They were never considered healthy snacks in the 70s..Healthier then than now doesn't mean healthy and were never considered healthy in the 70s. I gave birth to my 1st 3 children in the nid 70s. I was there. HFCS started replacing real sugar in 1978. Those sweet snacks are the exact same recipe now as they were then. Same ingredients. I was a young mother then, always reading labels and researching as usual.
yes, i can remember it seeming like there was butter in the cakes...it was actually lard. but i will take that over the cardboard tasting chemical concoctions of today! i remember my hands and fingers being oily after handling a twinkie or ding dong ( my favorites!)
born 1973, I remember eating Twinkies when i was a little boy, Entenmann's pantries too and they were so delicious, compared to today's sweets. I feel bad for today's children, that think the garbage sweets they eat today or actually good. It has no "taste" just sugary!
We weren't thin so much as not obese. Some were 10-20 lbs overnight, but not the 300 pounders common today. In my entire K-12 years in the 50s-60s there were only 2 or 3 fat kids in the entire school. Seriously, it's really sad what our corrupted food supply has done to us.
@@denisefarmer366Maybe a few more fat kids in the 70s and 80s but nothing compared to now. What was once considered fat is now slightly overweight too 🤦♂️
Do you really think that Autism is created in kids from food they eat? Personally I believe that most people with Autism are born that way.... I say that because I'm on the spectrum. I was born that way. It wasn't caused by chemicals in food. Lol. I do believe the chemicals in food can cause obesity and other health issues. But Autism is "born not made".
Or maybe it’s because autism is more widely understood and understood as a way wider spectrum. A lot of adults are only getting diagnosed now as their children and grandchildren are getting diagnosed based on the same “quirks” they’ve lived with their entire lives, which also adds to the numbers.
1. slice potatoes very thin 2. throw in frying pan with natural vegestable oil like you're frying up some homemade fries 3. add any seasonings if you wish to give them different flavorings as well as a little salt You have potato chips as they originally were.
They started using chemicals like artificial flavors and dyes because it was cheaper to make the food product which optimized their profit from the sale of these products. It all comes down to the almighty dollar and GREED!
There need to be a food protest about All of this especially brand new roads need to be repaired and made minus the potholes on our city streets especially in Milwaukee WI here.
Ronald Reagan did some things better but now it's all Up to God s blessings and prayers for a better America. And Only God knows what s going to happen it's up in Jesus Christ name too help us AMEN 🙏.
The more I learn, the more I realize that there's no such thing as an unhealthy food….. just unhealthy ingredients and ways of preparing it Burgers, pizzas, ice cream, cookies, pasta...all of these can actually be nutritious, healthy and easy to digest with the right ingredients...
Support with your wallets. Avoid processed foods with high fructose corn syrup, any ingredients that you can't pronounce, and bioengineered ingredients. Stop buying processed foods and companies will get the memo. Hurt big companies wallets and they will shift back to natural ingredients.
*except they weren’t. They were still made with products from fellow animals (which is bad for all you can think of) and they still had artificial chemicals just less so and the legalities of the labeling was different.*
Don’t eat anything packaged or processed! We were meant to eat meats, eggs, & vegetables and fruits in season, and drink water! No chemicals, very little sugar, and carbs. And as for the more natural packaged foods… well they might have been better but they were still processed foods and were not “healthy”!
Sorry, but you should get your facts straight on ORIGINAL Grape-Nuts. They STILL contain only 4 ingredients - Whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, salt and dried yeast. No added sugars. Post makes Grape-Nut Flakes, and that product DOES contain added sugar. Original Grape-Nuts is one of the few cold cereals I still buy. Some types of Shredded Wheat without BHT,Uncle Sam Cereal (now hard to find) and regular Oatmeal are are other 3 I know that have been around for over a hundred years, and still worth buying. I grew up on Corn Flakes in the 60’s , but wouldn’t give a plug nickel for them now!
Not only did the ingredients changed, the activity level of the people who eat them also changed. Before we play outside and burn off those natural sugars from cookies, cakes, and ice cream that we eat. Kids nowadays eat high fructose corn syrup and just sit around playing with their gadgets and video games. No physical exertion. So you know where that fructose go to.
The versions of these things now taste nothing like they once did. Not even tempted to eat these industrial chemical disease-bombs. Had a graham cracker lately? 🤢
Show me one food from the 70's that isn't healthier than today's version. All the chemicals they put in food now days may increase the shelf life of the food but it won't increase YOUR shelf life!
Literally. Not even a strawberry is healthier now
They put chemicals in food to make people sick,that benefits the corrupt medical industry and big pharma
Increasing shelf life is the bogus excuse. No need to increase shelf life if people are snapping up your healthy products right off the shelves.
ok, too easy. everything with nonhuman fellow animal products. Whereas now there’s good healthy versions. you’re correct there’s more artificial chemicals now but it doesn’t mean it was healthier.
That's why America is the sickest country in the world and our healthcare isn't free..Make that make sense 🤦🏽♀️ It's like one gigantic pyramid scheme 😳
Always knew food tasted better back than. Now it makes sense why.
Even produce tasted better back then. Some say we're imagining that because as we get older our perception of taste changes. But if you eat homegrown produce, you know that's not the case.
Thats why snacks are gross and pop sucks in usa now flat out i cant stand it dude i wish they would stop that disgusting stuff
@@valentinius62 Tomatoes, cucumbers & strawberries are prime examples of this. Hell, roses don't even smell like they used to!
Junk food back then had significantly fewer man-made chemicals, dyes, and flavorings than modern junk food has.
Wished they would go back to making things like they did in the 70’s, and stop using high fructose corn syrup and other poison.
Maybe if more people wanted to work for a living, such as on a farm growing food and their ingredients, the food we eat wouldn't need to include all the extras to feed the population that has grown EXPONENTIALLY since a lot of these foods have been introduced. Maybe more people need to quit expecting everyone else to do everything for them EXACTLY how they want it...

Corn syrup and high fructose are poisonous into the food industry now and they should try black pepper and Turmeric ingredients powerful healthy based ingredients now right now
You can also try to make it yourself, with natural ingredients.
Then big pharma looses alot of money
Glass soda bottles. I was never a big soda, but remember getting an occasion Sprite in a green, dimpled glass bottle.
I agree , there should be a movement to move away from plastic and back to glass. There used to be nothing more refreshing for me than an Orange Crush in the old dark brown bottle on a hot day.

The companies that produce these snacks charge as if they were using real food.

This is also true. Nintendo and Sega came along when I was a kid and although we still went outside to play, things changed a lot by the mid-90’s.
I wish we could do a taste test of these products… the original to today’s version.
I did a home made Twinkie that was delightful but by day 3…
I'm old enough to tell you it all tasted better in the 70s.
@@alexiswinter6948did foods start tasting worse in the 90s you think?
I wish we could eliminate all of these chemicals from food production, period! Unfortunately, that's not practical.
All of these junk foods have a better flavor when I was a child. I really miss the flavors from back then.
😫 Food just tasted so much better back then.
Just look at videos of crowds of people back in the 60s,70s, even 80s there were far few fat or obese people especially kids. Its obvious our foods are making us fat sick and tired and big pharma is laughing all the way to the bank. Sad.
agree 100 percent with you.
They're not forcing anybody at Gunpoint to eat their food. Everyone has control over their health.
True but I think you're missing the point and thats the sad part as so many people are willfully ignorant of what's in our food today and it wasn't nearly as bad as it was just a few decades ago. Replacing real cane sugars with beet sugars and corn syrup and plasticizers and seed oils for example. But even worse our foods are contolled by a hand full of corporations and its getting worse all the time. Its not just the so called junk foods but the bleached breads void of wheat germ protiens and preservativies and processed foods that are touted as healthy. Very deceptive and misleading stuff. But yeah everyone can decide for themselves. You have yourself a great day.
Kids back then were outside burning off the calories not sitting on their ass with a video game.
true. though I watched tv, I played a lot outside plus rode my bike.
Kids play outside all the time
Seems like you're the one stuck to a screen on your ass lol
Soccer soccer soccer soda soda never get fat ah good time
Yea we ran played out side did chores outside too ride are bikes no social media we played all day
😂😅😊
“Fortified” means: They stripped the product of all the nutrition, then put 1% of it back.
yes indeed
💯

Kraft Mac and cheese is so bland now.. I found out they changed the recipe not too long ago
These chemicals, preservatives, and poisons need to be illegal and banned in the U.S. !!! 😡🔥👹 Crime Against Humanity!!!
Many are in Europe, but not here?!

Agreed!

I would not.
I've yet to find an "organic" or "natural" food that tastes any better than the conventional versions.
There is no need for higher cost for real food.
Problem is it's never a few cents, its always a few dollars
They should do it like they do in Singapore. Make non nutritious foods more expensive and healthy foods cheaper
So I'm not crazy when I say that Twinkies in my childhood tasted better 😁
So much better!
No it's not you they actually suck anymore
Depends on your age…
Twinkies tasted better in the 90’s too!!
Twinkies today tastes like pure chemicals.
Food tasted way better back in the 1970s.
Bring back the old recipes I would rather have shorter shelf life and better ingredients over longer shelf life and worse ingredients
That makes SENSE to me.

Would love to see a video on the top 20 cakes and pies from the past that we still love today!
Yes! The old apple and blueberry pies I used to love as a teenager. Stuff I could never get away with eating regularly today but nice to dream about.
Darn! I don't feel safe eating any these foods now. I catch myself reading all the ingredients in everything we buy to eat now. Most now say contains bio engineered ingredient.
I specifically seek those out - higher yields that feed more people worldwide using the same farmland.
All food is toxic, including organic. But it's better to opt for non GMO organic.

Geez who ran FDA during late 80s and 90s
Remember adding sugar to original cheerios because they were so bland
In the 70's they used actual ingredients not chemicals. I remember when Twinkies were made with actual sugar.
Had to get 'em hooked first and make 'em think "It's normal". Then do the harmful "bait 'n' switch".
TV was healthier in the '70s too... and even healthier than that in the '60s and '50s.
Yup
I loved the Hostess Ding Dongs.
They were never considered healthy snacks in the 70s..Healthier then than now doesn't mean healthy and were never considered healthy in the 70s. I gave birth to my 1st 3 children in the nid 70s. I was there. HFCS started replacing real sugar in 1978. Those sweet snacks are the exact same recipe now as they were then. Same ingredients. I was a young mother then, always reading labels and researching as usual.
We need to go back to the original recipes.
Healthier doesnt mean healthy but I get what you're going for you in this video
Favorite chips: Doritos Nacho Cheese and Frito's BBQ flavors.
I remember when Totinos frozen pizza used to taste good ittaste like paper/plastic now havent had it in years
At around 9:02, that looks like Keanu!
yes, i can remember it seeming like there was butter in the cakes...it was actually lard. but i will take that over the cardboard tasting chemical concoctions of today! i remember my hands and fingers being oily after handling a twinkie or ding dong ( my favorites!)
born 1973, I remember eating Twinkies when i was a little boy, Entenmann's pantries too and they were so delicious, compared to today's sweets.
I feel bad for today's children, that think the garbage sweets they eat today or actually good. It has no "taste" just sugary!
This is why people from the 1970s were so thin lol
We weren't thin so much as not obese. Some were 10-20 lbs overnight, but not the 300 pounders common today. In my entire K-12 years in the 50s-60s there were only 2 or 3 fat kids in the entire school. Seriously, it's really sad what our corrupted food supply has done to us.
@@denisefarmer366Maybe a few more fat kids in the 70s and 80s but nothing compared to now. What was once considered fat is now slightly overweight too 🤦♂️
Oh I know you didn't see all these fat people like you do now it's gotten out of control
Exactly why we've seen a drastic increase in children who are autistic .its the food!
Tbh its everything: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soap we clean ourselves with etc. .
Do you really think that Autism is created in kids from food they eat? Personally I believe that most people with Autism are born that way....
I say that because I'm on the spectrum. I was born that way. It wasn't caused by chemicals in food. Lol.
I do believe the chemicals in food can cause obesity and other health issues. But Autism is "born not made".
It may be a contributing factor, but something else is what's causing the autism epidemic
Or maybe it’s because autism is more widely understood and understood as a way wider spectrum. A lot of adults are only getting diagnosed now as their children and grandchildren are getting diagnosed based on the same “quirks” they’ve lived with their entire lives, which also adds to the numbers.
Man i would love to have some junk food from the 1970s!!!!the food in the 70s is gold compared too todays garbage food
Is that Steve Urkel loving on those Oreos at 4:39?
Yup! 😊
"Did i do thaaat"
I think that was Keanu Reeves in the Corn Flakes commercial.
I miss the Twinkie taste… that taste is unforgettable.. I think about it here and there …. The entire hostess brand.. the taste have changed so much..
1970s was a good years clean-cut and so much Very Wholesome back then
we can make our own chips now.
1. slice potatoes very thin
2. throw in frying pan with natural vegestable oil like you're frying up some homemade fries
3. add any seasonings if you wish to give them different flavorings as well as a little salt
You have potato chips as they originally were.
@@3Storms thanks that was very nice
The sad part is that the products retain their names despite changing ingredients.
There are so many studies to try and figure out why people are more obese today than they were in the 70s. Researchers just have to watch this video.
9:02 John Wick ate cornflakes growing up too. The Real breakfast of champions. 😉😎
They started using chemicals like artificial flavors and dyes because it was cheaper to make the food product which optimized their profit from the sale of these products. It all comes down to the almighty dollar and GREED!
Many parts of a pine tree are eatable. 😆
Edible.
Euell Gibbons. Was a household name back then because of those ads.
The only part I think not edible is the wood. Bark, needles, cones all A-ok.
Moral of the story, every company: how can we spend less and charge more?
@9:06 Keanu Reeves eating Corn Flakes. Whoah! 😄
So all started going downhill when the dollar was no longer backed by gold and federal reserve start printing crazy?
i remember eating screaming yellow zonkers and steve's ice cream pints and chewing the 6 foot long bubble gum were my favorite in the 80's
I used to LOVE Twinkies when I was a kid back in the 80's. Absolutely disgusting today!🤢🤮
Very interesting , I didn't know this.
There need to be a food protest about All of this especially brand new roads need to be repaired and made minus the potholes on our city streets especially in Milwaukee WI here.
Ronald Reagan did some things better but now it's all Up to God s blessings and prayers for a better America. And Only God knows what s going to happen it's up in Jesus Christ name too help us AMEN 🙏.
summary: corporate greed = funeral industry boom 😂
The more I learn, the more I realize that there's no such thing as an unhealthy food…..
just unhealthy ingredients and ways of preparing it
Burgers, pizzas, ice cream, cookies, pasta...all of these can actually be nutritious, healthy and easy to digest with the right ingredients...
Support with your wallets. Avoid processed foods with high fructose corn syrup, any ingredients that you can't pronounce, and bioengineered ingredients. Stop buying processed foods and companies will get the memo. Hurt big companies wallets and they will shift back to natural ingredients.
I would not be surprised if these ceos make sure their families stock the healthier versions
*except they weren’t. They were still made with products from fellow animals (which is bad for all you can think of) and they still had artificial chemicals just less so and the legalities of the labeling was different.*
Don’t eat anything packaged or processed!
We were meant to eat meats, eggs, & vegetables and fruits in season, and drink water!
No chemicals, very little sugar, and carbs.
And as for the more natural packaged foods… well they might have been better but they were still processed foods and were not “healthy”!
In what universe is a Twinkie healthy?😆😆😆
I know y’all saw Jaleel White 😊 he was soo cute in the Oreo commercial
oh well maybe we can make our own cheeses.
where do i find those 99 cent bags? 😢 #3:17
Sorry, but you should get your facts straight on ORIGINAL Grape-Nuts. They STILL contain only 4 ingredients - Whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, salt and dried yeast. No added sugars. Post makes Grape-Nut Flakes, and that product DOES contain added sugar. Original Grape-Nuts is one of the few cold cereals I still buy. Some types of Shredded Wheat without BHT,Uncle Sam Cereal (now hard to find) and regular Oatmeal are are other 3 I know that have been around for over a hundred years, and still worth buying. I grew up on Corn Flakes in the 60’s , but wouldn’t give a plug nickel for them now!
Explain to me why you would need a longer shelf life if industry demand is up?
These companies should be arrested
40 years from now they are going to say that lettuce and tomatoes are unhealthy!
Saying "vegetable oil" is a misnomer as it is anything but natural.
Some of the ads shown are actually from the 80s...though the product is 70s or earlier.
So sad that bad ingredients are allowed
Not only did the ingredients changed, the activity level of the people who eat them also changed. Before we play outside and burn off those natural sugars from cookies, cakes, and ice cream that we eat. Kids nowadays eat high fructose corn syrup and just sit around playing with their gadgets and video games. No physical exertion. So you know where that fructose go to.
Why does Jimmy Durante in the Kellogg’s Corn Flakes commercial remind me of Freddy Kruger?
So it's not my imagination that things don't taste as good today as they did back then. Or it could be that my taste buds are just getting old.
No it's not your taste buds
Oh! My mom ate liver every week for a while because it was supposed to be good for her.
I still do.
The versions of these things now taste nothing like they once did. Not even tempted to eat these industrial chemical disease-bombs. Had a graham cracker lately? 🤢
Ugh I have ended up throwing the box away
ketchup in glass bottles mustard too .
