I agree that China is experiencing the same issues with food adulteration and industrial pollution today as the US experienced at the early of the 20th century.

One of the most difficult things for me to give up from my childhood was sweetened breakfast cereal. Oh, I could eat bowls of cereal morning, noon, and night!Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-58519290660499707242011-11-26T00:18:01.223-05:002011-11-26T00:18:01.223-05:00My mom told me about how her and her brother used ...My mom told me about how her and her brother used to fight over who got to squish the butter packet into butter, guessing late 40s-early 50s. <br /><br />Although the packet was red, once they squished it and massaged it into the white-ish? butter, the butter turned YELLOW. The packet also had salt in it. I'm sure they could have used their pantry salt instead of what was in those red packets, but apparently they wanted their butter to be YELLOW.<br /><br />IMO, once an entire generation has grown up used to their food being a certain color/flavor/texture, even if these have been added in artificially, it's challenging to get people to accept a food without the additions. Look at the cornbread color preferences LOL (PS: white cornbread makes me sad haha, but I would eat blue cornbread, only if it came from actual blue corn).<br /><br />If things don't hurt us right away, we tend to accept them as safe until "the watchers" huff and puff long enough that people finally listen (soy!).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827052626667535975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-54773212941687461152011-11-24T12:46:14.414-05:002011-11-24T12:46:14.414-05:00Ewww.
