Anybody else find it funny that her cart is just full of junk? No fresh fruit or vegetables to be seen. Some things never change in America.

Therenwas a time in the mid century where these things would be seen as great innovations. All the nutricional (i.e. Calories) without the hassle. Vitamins were discovered during the first half of the 20th century and it would take a while for science to conclude that all this processed food was total junk.

The fresh vegetable section is the first aisle in most grocery stores that I can think of. Any fresh fruit or vegetables she got would be at the bottom.

That’s insane. Sure they’re in the first aisle but they’re either sitting in the baby seat or making their way to the top as I’m loading other stuff.

I don’t like my fruit and veg all battered and bruised.

But her husband likes his fruits and veggies the same way he likes his wife...

It wasn't so popular back then, people ate processed food without fear, organic thing became popular more than 20 years later

I stayed at an Airbnb that had old cook books from the 70s. It was all processed crap, they didn't even specify proper measurements, just add one can jalapenos.
