I didn't watch this program. What I have watched is say the history of bakers and bread, including when flour was diluted with plaster of paris, etc........ yummy eh! Poor people have all too often had poor diets, especially the women, endless babies and they served their own meals last. Truthfully, when I moved in with my boyfriend I bought everything from M&S, even all those years ago, one could get meals.The reason I did this was that our working hours were completely opposite and it was the quickest way for us to eat together. And he was very ill on them, literally would vomit after every meal, and then I started cooking everything, and he wasn't ill. Wasn't as if I couldn't cook, I could, it was just the timing so we could actually eat at the same time. My Dad says that his diet radically improved when WW11 rationing started as everyone ate everything on the list and it was in general a very healthy diet. Ofcourse most bought things have weird and wonderful stuff in them. I bake a tray of biscuits and they are soft very quickly, I have some bought ones in my cupboard that are ok to mid 2022....... Yes, I am sure that some things affect kids brains, as well as adults. We use endless chemicals in the earth, and organis, well, is it 'really'? Also, I really do not want to live for ever. I might watch this program now mint, see what they say, but honestly I doubt I will be in any way surprised.
