It was only here in America that eating, garlic, tomatoes, vegetables, etc. was
considered risky or inappropriate at after WW1.
That's what was under discussion.

How? I've never seen anything that I thought was strange. We don't eat
anything that is still alive, or wiggles, or whatever. Our food is
pretty basic, with the exception maybe of some fancy stuff.... but a lot
of that is foreign influence.

That's because the kids were raised poorly (food wise). I have a set of
cousins like that...... last Thanksgiving the boy ate only Biscuits!
There diets consist of mainly carbs, and sugar!
American food tends to be over processed nowadays, too.
