[Margaret Pilkington]

No, I don’t think it was unhealthy…add to that the people of that age were mainly working in very physical jobs, you did not see very many really fat people.

I think that there were fewer additives…people cooked from scratch…the only real take away was a chippy tea….and that was very infrequent.
We had sugar in our tea…full fat milk, ate butter on our bread….and what is just as important is that we had no concerns about what we are…we did not obsess about food or calories.
We drank water or milk….not fizzy drinks.
All this must count for something.
