Alas....when I was a lass, Hostess Cupcakes were delish.
I grow my own vegetables, bake my own breads (often grind the wheat,
but have to buy the wheatberries), roast my own coffee, drive around
the country side to find family farm raised goodies...we eat well
here.
Something that should be remembered in this thread....the foods we
used to eat as children were eaten in season, not year 'round, and
likely produced locally, too.
Products are now grown and produced to make them store forever, be
shipped cross county without the advantage of ripeness and be sold to
us as cheaply as possible, often using labor that is paid subsistence
wages. The world of food production has changed. We, ourselves, can
seek out foods that are grown well, prepared well and eaten in a
healthy way. All it takes is time and money. Some folks have neither,
some have one or the other and some have neither. Then are those who
really don't care, or for whom food is not really enjoyable, but just
a necessity. RFC is not the place we'll find too many of the latter.
