Even if today the American cuisine has developed in several regional and ethnic Favorites, to respond to global trends, such as fusion cooking, American diet isn't always also various. If you query the man or woman on the street for their take on American food run, it will probably 90% of the respondents hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, pizzas and Tex-Mex that dishes the definition of American food. Although ethnic foods are gaining in popularity, is always mouth American, that we share, stuck in a mentality of food from the 1950s.
There are several reasons why this is the case. To the second world war, close on the heels of the great depression of the 1930s, the economy is the name of the game. For decades was the necessarily obsessed American housewife having enough food to go around the dining table. The second world war is a rationing of reality and gave birth to the garden for victory, a national phenomenon. Resources and money was tight. Women were served with more challenges, go to the labour market while still facing problems of raising their children and making ends meet while their husbands were overseas. It was not easy sometimes.
Once the war ended, were housewives more ready for a change. Unfortunately, perhaps went victory fell garden. At the same time was preserved the rage in the food of 1950. If you return in the day, forget not you, you know that MOM has been more than happy to this same modern peas or spinach. What could be simpler? Soon the frozen food, with predominant vegetables. There is no doubt that tasted over peas fresh frozen as the colorful green peas more processed and sad. 1950 food was marked by the single can of food. The main ingredient in our heroes of war, before, was Spam (TM), today still sold. Canning is the characteristic of the modern housewife, directory of cooking. After all, she is now in the process of change and washing of layers, as well as the rest of the family of clothing.
Canned and frozen necessarily processed heralded a new era of American food. Women have been skinning by economies of convenience and time of these food products. The famous sauce white, conserved in a box, mother of countless hours of time. Who can blame him for the? Nevertheless, the new trend of food from the 1950s picked up.
Food manufacturers have Rapids make the housewife with convenience products more and more. Soon became America engulfed in foods requiring less and less in terms of preparation. Mother head and even adopted this way of saving time, food. Purchase habits of the American public has changed with ease the synonym of modern life.
The evolution of food production from the 1950s contributed greatly to unhealthy eating habits of today. Preservatives, with addition of salt and sugar, enter now almost every convenience found foods today supermarkets. Crowded old diet has taken a new turn.
Today, we can provide complete, ready to erase meals and should buy. Our daily lives is now more occupied than ever. Now we have so many modern comforts, this mother and grandmother lacks. We have now, disposable diapers and 50 hours of work per week!
Then that innovations of food from the 1950s to their usefulness, it is high time that return us the victory garden created. Our conservative society served in a very young age. Now it's time to go back, back to the future.
