This has to be one of my new favourite Trump quotes of all time:

“We’re going to be redoing the parks, redoing the grass. You know, grass is a lifetime, like people have a lifetime, and the lifetime of this grass has long been gone. When you look at the parks where the grass is: all tired, exhausted. We’re going to redo the grass with the finest grasses. I know a lot about grass because I own a lot of golf courses—and if you don’t have good grass, you’re not in business very long.”
 
What food wasn't available post world war 2 that is now?

Go to the super market, delete nearly everything that doesn't have a Kraft, Dole, Green Giant, or Betty Crocker label on it, then delete pretty much all the foods from those brands that don't taste like their key ingredient has a name like "thorbendralozyphynol," leave two types of apples, iceberg lettuce, and one kind of tomato, delete most fresh fruits & veggies during the off-season, and there's your typical grocery store circa 1955. The amount of stuff that has showed up just since I was a kid in the 1980s is staggering, I remember my mom being excited because the grocery near us started stocking three types of mushroom instead of just those shitty white buttons. It was also a big deal when they started stocking coffee other than Folger's and Maxwell House.

I would like to hear @Joseph Stalin's take.

Don't eat what can't pronunce doesn't apply to organic chemists.
 
I have no idea about lettuce but avocados don't just grow anywhere. Boomers are fascinated by them because when they were young, you couldn't go just buy one. That's a product of globalism.

Reminder: 50% of the food you consume is produced in another country. If this changes, you will have greatly reduced choices...

The Boomers grew up on simple shit like bologna and white bread, not your fancy fuck avocado toast you spoiled young brats, smh.
I grew up with an avocado tree in my backyard, and I’ve alway hated them. There’s nothing I consume that would be negatively hurt by having American-only produce. On top of that, America has enough climates to grow anything on earth

Vance and other Republicans are already begging for Elon to come back lol.
Dude spent 300 million on the 2024 election, and Trump legit treated him as a friend having him around his family. Elon had his kid around the Trump family alot too. why wouldn't they want their "first bud" or whatever the fuck they called him back around?

And it's good to see you back in the thread, hope you've been good.

The food was more limited, but it was also, for the most part, higher quality and less processed. Even the fruits and vegetables were better. Unfortunately, super markets preferred better looking produce over better tasting ones. The organic movement has gone a long way to improve produce, but processed foods are terrible. Thankfully RFK is helping with that.

Julia Child’s book was written for a time where many of the ingredients needed for French cuisine was not available in America and she offers excellent advice for substitution. People were certainly capable of making good food. Chefs always tried to steer people away from stuff like margarine, even in this time.
 
Vance and other Republicans are already begging for Elon to come back lol. Makes sense, considering that him buying Twitter was pretty much the only reason Trump isn't rotting in prison now.

Slightly true.

The early Trump admin's obeisance to Musk (who's fucking retarded) bought it a lot of "PR" (because people don't know he's retarded).
