We’ve only recently come to understand the nutritional value of fresh foods.

Yes, they were from the generation where there were no concerns about using canned goods and serving twinkies as a dessert. We ate a lot of meals at my grandmother's house. She grew up on a farm--was one of 10 children--each had a job--hers was to cook for everyone. My mother used formula too because they actually thought this was good for children. During her time, when she gave birth--they stuck her in a room all alone and no one visited until after the child was born. Sometimes modern is not better....
