quote:Deep fried in lard? The big difference in eating a 100 years ago vs working 100 years ago as compared to today, people actually worked. My grandfather arose at 4:00 to milk the cows, would eat a full breakfast (my grandmother cooked 3 full meals every day). He would go do his letter carrier route. Then he would go tend to his 100 head of cattle, farm the land, work the garden (veggies cooked with salted fat back) and quit when it got dark. He lived to be 96 and grandmother passed at 101.
Eat like people 100 years ago. Problem solved.

The only GMO things that we consume as human food in the US is corn, soybeans, and small grain. And small grains and soybeans should be consumed in moderation, if at all

We just got back from Europe, and while there bought bananas as snacks. They lasted a week without even starting to brown while the ones here are lucky if they don’t start browning within 2-3 days. Both times in Europe were normal bananas, not labeled organic or anything.
I’m not one who freaks out at GMOs, but the difference in our food quality versus Europe’s is pretty big.
If this is a result of GMO, I can guarantee you the European ones are the GMO ones. No one is going to genetically modify bananas to spoil quicker
Organic produce spoils quicker fwiw

quote:I don't recall my mother making home made butter but my grandmother had the churn and everything. We would come home with a gallon jug of fresh milk and once it sat in the frig over night, cream would rise to the top and probably a 4 inch layer of fat (specific gravity doing work). I am sure we did something with it but I didn't care much for my grandmother's homemade butter. When we started having kids, we started going lower fat, 2%, 1% all the way to skim. Not sure I could drink whole milk even today. Although, I have switch to Almond milk because of carbs. Did you know that all forms of milk have about the same level of carbs; hence the switch to unsweetened Almond.

People ate much healthier food back then AND got more exercise. Almost all of our foods are processed now. People have traded convenience for health. We used to be the tallest people on earth until fast food and processed foods started dominating our diets.

You don't think that every vegetable you might eat hasn't been genetically improved? Do you actually believe that?
For example; are the tomatoes you eat not exactly the same as the ones consumed by the Ancient Mexicans? And that even back in 500 BC, they didn't know how to selectively breed their tomatoes?
Do you consume any meats? Are the cows and chickens and pigs exactly the same genetically the as they were when people lived in caves?
The only foods that might have some valid claim would be wild caught seafoods.

Noticed that on a package of Oreos at one point.
How much worse could a GMO ingredient be than anything normally in an Oreo?

quote:Ice boxes were the norm 100 years ago so you had to live within a reasonable distance from the ice house to even consider one (if you could afford one). So canning was the norm. There were trade offs for "healthier" as in lard, fat back, canning salt in the veggies but home grown free range eggs, cattle slaughtered that you raised plus hogs. You processed your own or you took them to the butcher. Salted for preservation or hung in a root cellar. So in way, processed foods have been around for a long time. But as you call it exercise, I called it grueling very difficult work. Walking behind a mule all day working a turning plow I guess could be called "exercise" but I don't think that 13 year old working the plow called it that. Did you know they let school out during the harvest season so families could have all hands on deck. Didn't matter girl or boy, you were in the fields. I have heard stories over and over from my mom and dad and aunts and uncles. They grew up in the depression but were fortunate enough to have what they needed plus help others. My granddad even helped finance a school in the dead middle of the depression because he knew the only way off the farm was through education. Unheard of back then but all 8 kids went to college with 5 being teachers.

GMO and selective breeding are 2 entirely different things.

I eat only healthy plants and meat, but that isn’t even safe because they spray glyphosate and roundup on everything. They inject animals with all kinds of crap. I’m not sure if they started yet but they plan to inject all animals we consume with the Covid gene therapy, which is entirely needed
