you realize the quality of the food back then was much worse, right? way more treated/process/packaged up the wazoo crap. Whole foods type stuff didn’t really exist yet in any broadly available way.
that’s also why it was so cheap. I grew up in the 80s/90s. The food was disgusting and we started getting massive increases in quality in the late 90s/early 2000s. if you ate a 1985 tomato you’d probably spit it out because it tasted like water and fiber and had zero flavor. it probably also had lead and other neurotoxins because of the lack of environmental regulations.
or frozen ones that turned into mush once you cooked them. that was my mom’s specialty, serving flavorless nutritionless slop and telling me what an asshole i was for not wanting to eat it. i had no issue eating veggies during holidays… because we actually used fresh ones…
my nephews eat vegetables no problem. because they taste good and are fresh and actually have vitamins.

In the 80s my family still got most of our vegetables from cans. It was bad.
