    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.
