Watch “Whenever You Eat – 1950’s Nutrition – CharlieDeanArchives / Archival Footage” on YouTube

Minday afternoon Antonia (my daughter) and I a conversation about the difference between serving sizes now compared to the serving sizes of the 1950s. This a huge difference.

Example: In the 1950s a whopper meal of today would’ve been considered large. Cut the meal in half or go with with a whopper junior meal and that would’ve been a lunch in the 1950s.

This is from my Better Homes and Gardens 1954 cookbook. This page has a vareity of lunch box possibilities.

The family sat down together and had a meal. Each person took turns telling dad about their day. Being mindful not to dominate the conversation. I have to wonder if these things contributed to a healthier lifestyle. What do you think?

Before convince food was everywhere. Oh, those were the days... Let's reclaim them and start cooking from scratch again.
