Good Eating Habits (1951)

Drama focusing on gluttony and "hidden hunger," where well-nourished people eat poorly and malnourish themselves.

These videos are calming and reassuring because they aren't built around the post-modern nonsense that says "truth is relative". These videos give definitive and direct advice and aren't afraid to make judgement calls; the advice is based on producing a desirable outcome that is presumed everyone already agrees on.

[@alissakartavtseva4072]

"The truth is out there"- Fox Mulder

[@agent_k9508]

Dude, I'm all about truth seeking and yet I'm finding it strange that these were a thing. Like... why? Why was this part of public education and how did it effect the expectations of what schools "should" be having to teach your kids? That's all besides the fact that if you just took out either the orange juice or the milk and then the crap ton of sugar, this kid woulda felt fine lol. I've always wondered why it is that my generation (younger side of millennials) always worship the word of teachers over their parents, especially now with the sexual bullcrap they're putting on kids in kindergarten. Now I'm starting to learn about different curriculums at different times in our history annnndd, gotta say, I'm not as impressed with the 50s as ai thought I would be. I'd rather my kid be allowed to ask their questions and know they're getting a trustworthy, caring answer that has all the truth in it, not have their question smacked down as "disrespectful" like the gov. is doing to us now.

[@Thehouseoffail]

@@agent_k9508 These exist because of WWI, WWII, and later the Vietnam War. So many fathers were either overseas or died during this period. And women were often in the worforce to replace the men who couldn't work in neccessary manufacturing fields. Which made people nervous because they weren't at home with the kids. While that all sounds normal and largely unproblematic to us, the government at the time was worried that kids weren't receiving enough education at home reguarding grooming, eating, dating, first jobs, and/or moral behavior. Sort of like in the 90s when the government was concerned about how divorce being legalized would effect the values and well-being of children. What the people who made these films didn't realize is that the "poor" appearance and behaviors they were seeing were actually a result of how class distintion was begining to break down for the first time. As the economy changed, people without generaltional weath were eating out, attending schools, enjoying hobbies, and taking holidays that they never would have been able to do before workers rights and more reasonable pay was established. Which meant that important politicians and other wealthy business owners were actually exposed to how the average person behaves for the first time. This was further compounded by the fact the "weekends" has just become a reality. And so, citizens with lower economic class has the time to be in public spaces more than they ever could before. So, the film industry made these to "correct the problem". Often in ways that would push the manners of high class blue-bloods onto the masses. Schools and theatres allowed them to maximize their impact and practically guaranteed that virtually every child in America would see them. With the obvious exception of those facing the cruelty of segregated schools. Whom the manufacturers were rarely exposed too and did not care about "helping". Please don't think of this as my condoning or condeming the practice. I'm simply providing some context, becaus you asked why they made these at all.

Hi Lisa. You must be under the age of 30 to ask such a question. Now-a-days, of course, people eat whatever they feel like and whenever they feel like, and in the largest portions they can get. However, back when this film was made, portion control was a major way of eating to keep weight gain under control, and so was lots of exercise, such as housekeeping, bowling, gardening, etc. People weren't stuck in front of electronic gadgets for 12-15 hours a day, gaining weight. Diabetes was very low as compared to today's statics. You wouldn't have been in a coma because your body would have been used to ingesting those delicious types of food and you would have been more active to help your body process them properly.

[@shibolinemress8913]

I can't remember having breakfast together as a family during the week at all. Our morning schedules were just too different. Dinner was another matter. Family dinners were a must until I was about half-way through junior high. After that, they sort of fell by the wayside. In high school I started eating breakfast as well as lunch at school. After school there were various activities like creative writing and drama club. For dinner I'd grab a sandwich on the way home, or heat up some leftovers. Then came homework and bedtime. My brother did the same when he got older. Dad came home late from work, too. Looking back, it felt like we became more like a group of boarders than a family. Now those days are long gone, and I can't change them. Dinners with mom, dad and brother are even rarer these days, because I live abroad and can only visit them once a year or so. My point is, don't repeat our mistake. Meals with whatever family you have are precious, so have them whenever you can, and don't take them for granted, because once that time is gone, you can never get it back.

[@kiy8528]

@Untrepid One But we have a food industry that lets us eat like kings and princes back when they were more common. Before the industrialisation of food production regular people couldn't afford to eat things like meat and cheese every day. Imagine a regular farmer family. Could they afford to kill a chicken or two every day? Most likely not. And they definitely didn't have access to non-regional fruit and products. So we don't need to have their money to be able to eat like them (and better), at least in quality. And I don't think that saying implies we actually stuff ourselves like some fat kings did.

Doesn't work at all when one has severe food allergies, and can eat only two meals a day at the absolute best of times, but usually only one meal a day. That bizarre "royal" principle went out the window at least a decade ago, anyhow.

[@orlandoangel]

Everyone calm down about the amount of food. It's a dollop of hot wheat in the world's tiniest little dish, one egg, one skinny strip of bacon, the century's smallest square of toast, 4oz of probably unsweetened orange juice in basically a shot-glass, and a short tumbler of thin watery milk. If you triple or quadruple everything he ate it would maybe count as one modern "breakfast sandwich." The tall cup of melted chocolate ice cream that you call your morning "coffee" easily has more sugar than his pop, candy, and cookie combined. And the plastic disposable cup you drink from is worse for the environment even properly disposed, than the glass and paper he tossed on the street. But for real he shouldn't have littered lol

[@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

The butter he put on his toast is a more natural food compared to the margarine people use today.

Don't feel sorry for his mother. It was her joy and it was her meaningful work to care for her family. She wasn't forced to sit behind a keyboard all day punching in meaningless and trivial crap for some corporate entity. People have become taught wrongly about healthy beautiful family life! Careerism is a false promise. Caring for the health and well-being of others is important work!

We didn't eat breakfast together as a family very often during my school days,but supper together was an absolute must. I think that simple step, and not allowing devices to distract from true reconnection with your family, would help a great deal. It's amazing how much the simple step of hearing about each other's day leads to family unity.

Kelly Tyler The fifties was kind of an artificial ideal created by unprecedented prosperity. Historically speaking it was unusual for women to have the luxury of being a stay at home housewife, and the nuclear family is not traditional but rather a construct that benefits capitalism while cutting white folks off from their extended family.
