These people were obsessed with eating canned food. They thought that they could make it palatable with stuff like slathering it in mayonnaise or suspending it in jello.
Boomers are sociopaths. Years of leaded gas exposure gave them lifelong cognitive decline and propensity towards erratic behavior.
It was mostly Silents/Greatest generations who were doing that kind of cooking. They were only feeding it to Boomers. In fact, Greatest gen should probably get more flak for making Boomers the way they are. They were super horny and literally fucked the Boomers into existence, but didn’t know what to do beyond that.
Yeah, their WWII PTSD really boosted the canned food craze. But the Boomers (no pun intended) ate it up, and carried it along and put it all in plastic.
Yep, Greatest Gen grandparents raised me. Mom made all sorts of jello and casserole abominations. I’d probably be an inch taller if I could have stomached that garbage as a kid.
Boomers for sure did, leaded gasoline began being used before Boomers were even born.
What likely leads to greater exposure is how many cars there were by the 70s and 80s. But lead exposure is cumulative over a lifetime. So I would be curious to see that research, as Boomers had roughly 40 years of exposure from 1950s to 1994. Gen X wouldn’t have that much by decades.

I was reading the other day that Gen X technically got the highest lifetime lead exposure. Boomers didn’t grow up with it.

Not just leaded gas but also becoming adults in the easiest time and place in human history to live comfortably.
