Comment on I was a husky boy and look how I turned out
turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 1 week agoFruity Pebbles didn’t hit the market until the early 70s. There was definitely processed food coming down the line but we didn’t shift to be fully dependent on it until the 70s and 80s, latchkey kids, etc.

Pebbles 1969. But it wasn’t the first: Frosted Flakes 1951, Sugar Smacks 1953, Captain Crunch 1963, Lucky Charms 1964.
Frozen TV dinners began in the 1950’s. People ate that shit for dinner. Margarine was more popular than butter.
A variety of fresh food wasn’t available to regular Americans until the 1980’s. Everything was canned or at best frozen.
