So there's definitely a back and forth in culinary culture rather than just a trendline over time. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606626 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:12:14 +0000 c606628@http://metachat.org Hey, I wrote that in April, 2254! Hello from the future, primitives! http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606628 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:18:13 +0000 c606629@http://metachat.org The answer is yes. Yes, someone cared to guess. Thanks for playing, folks! G'night!

We all suffered greatly, it's best left alone. Not like this! http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606631 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:05:23 +0000 c606632@http://metachat.org Google says 1938. Makes sense, that's when the US was transitioning to a mass production food system. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606632 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:50:03 +0000 c606633@http://metachat.org Well, so much for guessing games. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606633 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:02:31 +0000 c606635@http://metachat.org TREACLE SCORCHED THE SKY http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606635 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:15:53 +0000 c606637@http://metachat.org Sorry, Janetland. I was thinking 1940 given what the quote said, so that would have been my guess anyway. I guess I should now slink away. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606637 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:30:57 +0000 c606638@http://metachat.org I'm guessing google got it wrong. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606638 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:21:37 +0000 c606641@http://metachat.org I'm sorry, JanetLand. I was fooling around and got carried away. I didn't mean to ruin your guessing game with nonsense answers. I was inconsiderate, and I regret it. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606641 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:02:47 +0000 c606652@http://metachat.org It was probably caused by something you ate. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/24/we_eat_bad_food#c606652 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:18:10 +0000 c606669@http://metachat.org Aw, spoiler. I was going to come in at 1940 too. I think you can find food concern trolling going back a much longer way, though. It was a major driver of the Home Ec movement that emerged in the late 1800s. Harriet Beecher Stowe was big into the whole thing too. And the cult of motherhood in the early 1800s was nosily prescriptive about what people ate.

I was going to come in at 1920 or 1940 too. I was looking for a point at which people were talking a lot about technological change.

Dumb immigrants, they didn't know how to cook their kids good food! Harriet Beecher Stowe was big into the whole thing too.
