At the dawn of the 20th century, as the industrial revolution reshaped society, families saw their precious time together diminish. With new luxuries like electricity and automobiles becoming accessible, many households needed both parents working to afford them. This shift impacted traditional family cooking.
Gone were the days of day-long meal preparations. Instead, convenience took precedence as industrial growth offered modern comforts, but compromised meal quality.
The transition from home-cooked meals to commercially prepared foods wasn't simple. Innovations like the electric refrigerator, gas stove, and microwave oven propelled the food service industry. This growth spurred the need for shortcuts?"enter food additives and preservatives. Companies aimed for profit by enhancing yield with chemical fertilizers and extending shelf life through preservatives. Government entities like the USDA and FDA played roles in facilitating and regulating these changes.
By the mid-20th century, the food industry had mastered marketing and profitability. To maintain profits, manufacturers added chemicals and processed oils to extend product shelf life. Despite public outcry, the FDA's attempts to regulate these practices have been limited. As a result, many staple foods have become more toxic to our bodies. Even something as simple as a commercially made "Ma's" apple pie can contain marginally harmful levels due to chemical additives. Similarly, bleached wheat flour contributes to increased toxicity, and misleading labels boast "Blueberry Muffins" without real blueberries, substituting with blue coloring instead.
Today, our world is slowly addressing these food industry flaws. While progress is slow, there is hope that we might once again savor the genuine flavors of the past?"even if only in our dreams.
