It doesn't appear to be sanitary...
Fewer people ever became ill from food stuffs of every type back then with questionable sanitation practices than those who become ill or contract debilitating diseases today from food stuffs made with today's strict food preparing regulations, especially when you factor in all of the unpronounceable additives included in themQuote:

I am with Frank on this one...
We laugh at the “unsanitary conditions” in the photo. BUT, I would rather eat one of those old cone off the floor than a “modern” one out of a “sanitary” factory.
I bet those old cones did not have;
Mono- and di-glycerides which promote inflammation and obesity, raise LDL cholesterol levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels. Made up in part of fatty acids, mono- and diglycerides may contain trans fats, either when manufactured in a lab, or if they come from an animal or vegetable sources, when exposed to heat for processing into packaged and prepared foods.
OR
Polysorbate 80 with its links to various side effects, according to a 2018 study. Small amounts of undigested polysorbate 80 in meals may promote bacterial translocation, explaining why Crohn’s disease is becoming more common.
Polysorbate 80 also links to a variety of systemic responses (e.g., hypersensitivity, non-allergic anaphylaxis, rash) and injection- and infusion-site adverse effects in medication formulations (ISAEs; e.g., pain, erythema, thrombophlebitis).
Another study showed that polysorbate 80 causes a patient’s anaphylactoid response, which was non-immunologic. In an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot investigations, there were no findings of polysorbate-specific IgE antibodies, supporting the nonimmunologic origin of the anaphylactoid response.
According to rare case reports of liver toxicity, Polysorbate 80 may contribute to liver damage with the IV version of amiodarone. According to amiodarone package labeling, polysorbate 80 leaches DEHP (dioctyl phthalate) from PVC, and one should strictly observe dose instructions.
WE all all killing ourselves with these chemicals that have been shown as “safe” by the FDA.
Give good ole old fashioned dirt anyway thank you!!!
So, why does life expectancy in the US keep increasing...

It's probably not from the seven syllable hyphenated names of the ingredients found in processed foods.Quote:

It's just a company name designed to draw attention and make the consumer think they are getting something special. Examples are stores in the US and elsewhere named "Discount Tire" and "Cheap Tobacco", among others.
Also, Canada's Princess Auto was named after the street that the first store was on, not for attracting frogs.
I feel safer already, my princess is crazy about frogs. Has been, apparently, her entire life.Quote:

Alcohol is supposed to preserve things, I think. Drink up, everyone..........CHEERSQuote:

Health of food processing methods depends on the process. Hydrogenating oils to create margarine with trans fats is an example of a bad food processing idea, especially as a supposed healthier alternative to butter. Canning was a brilliant food processing idea.
Pulling the endosperm out of wheat to create finer flour and then normalizing its everyday use was probably not our best move.

Those life expectancy graphs have taken a downward turn in the past few years, but not because of food.

That little guy sitting on the running board certainly has an interesting expression on his face!!
I've probably been to that very orchard! It's right up the road from us!
I'd say he found a cent. That was after the photographer took a dollar from him.Quote:

They were the finest American made radios of their day. The Quality Control technique displayed here is what's called the "walk around" method. Even by the owner of the company!
