There was not a fast food restaurant at every corner. Or so much processed frozen meals.
First time as a kid in the 70's I had a TV dinner I was so excited OH Boy something different! That enthusiasm changed with the first bite. The image on the box did not in any way meet reality.

Made me appreciate my mothers skills and got me interested in cooking. I still have, and reference from her 1952 Fanny Farmer cookbook.

And keep active, still bike ride and hike. My work keeps me on my feet besides when I have to design something.
