There are many reasons why there is more obesity now, not related to better nutrition for some people. These include more suburban sprawl (walking healthier than driving) and kids not being allowed to play outdoors despite less actual crime than when they were allowed. these also include the fact that many people do not actually eat more healthy food. They eat food with less fat but even more sugar.

Not true today, corned beef now retails between £3-£4 a tin, Tuna almost £2 a small tin. Belly pork - likewise a one time cheap cut of meat is now priced on a par with beef steak.

      It was kind of hush-hush, but Tang was discontinued for a short period of time, when the FDA mandated that all food manufacturers stop using a certain orange flavoring, due to its links to cancer. There were a few other products that were caught up in the ban, too, such as orange flavored Crystal Light, Wylers, Sunny-D, Tampico Punch, etc. Basically, if it was orange flavored and tasted better than orange Kool-Aid, it was affected by the ban and had to reformulate. The FDA didn't mandate an immediate ban, though. They gave manufacturers a deadline and notified them some years in advance. Some products managed to reformulate before the deadline and never went missing from store shelves (Sunny-D), while others didn't (Tang). Some manufacturers opted to just drop carrying an orange flavored option entirely (such as Crystal Light and Wylers)

    Your topic was famous breakfasts we abandon. I am 74, and never heard of anyone eating fruit cocktail or space food sticks for breakfasts both of which I love, space food sticks are sadly gone but I still buy fruit cocktail all the time, neither it nor Maxwell House Coffee went anywhere. Also as someone else pointed out Jiffy Pop is just popcorn , not box mixes, though both are Jiffy brand.

    We saved the British from starvation during world War two by shipping tons of spam to Britain. Ask the younger British and they will say no it didn't and get angry.

      I have a fondness for Spam today!..
      Because as a kid, I would sometimes spend a few weeks visiting my uncle, who was a career Army enlisted non com. And he would cook Spam and eggs for breakfast every other morning. Sometimes varying the breakfast routine with SOS!...creamed chipped beef on biscuits... And fried potatoes and bacon was also a staple at his table... It makes me wonder, that with his diet...He managed to make to 94!

      The older generations of British citizens still have a fondness for Spam. After all, Monty Python's Flying Circus immortalized Spam in song!

      I am of the older generation in Britain. Spam is the worst tinned meat, if it is meat, going. I haven't eaten it since we came off rationing

    Nothing like a fried spam, lettuce, tomato and mayo sandwich on toast. Ate quite a few back the 1960's.

    Ohhh how nice it is to take a walk down memory lane now and then, I remember these breakfast foods as I used to have them on a regular basis, some of them were actually good for you while some of them were so sweet that you would think that your teeth were going to melt. Toast fixed with an egg in the middle, why I still have that now and then, the corned beef hash is good on those cold mornings when you just have to have a hot breakfast. The Jiffy brand boxed mixes are still a good deal though they have gone up in price, they used to cost around .19 cents per box back in the 1970s. So many of the items they showed were nice to have now and then, that reminds me I need to get some more instant breakfast next time I go shopping AZ that is still available.
