What was "deprived" 100 years ago?

It's funny how when each new thing is invented, suddenly to be on a diet without that sort of thing is "deprivation". For me, pop, ice cream, and french fries don't exist anymore. I just wonder what suddenly, in this day and age, brings on this deprivation mentality. Most people are used to eating what the want to eat. For them, anything short of that is deprivation.

I just wonder what suddenly, in this day and age, brings on this deprivation mentality. "Deprivation" is simply doing without what you had before and still wanting it. I imagine that a urbanite 100 years ago moving out to a rural countryside farm would feel deprived from the variety of things available in a city, restaurants, museums, theaters, libraries, wide variety of traded goods and foods. You can get used to anything if you have to. That is simple. If forced to we would all survive. I think the deprivation comes from the mix of everything being SO accessible, yet not having it anyway. I get bored with foods and enjoyed variety. Ethnic foods were big for me. Chinese/Japanese/Indian were 2-4 meals a week. Now I've had them only 3 times in 3 months. And many of my favorites I had to skip. People talk about loosing taste for these things but I think that is more psychological. I think over time people could easily reintroduce favorite foods and get over them "not tasting good anymore".

Probably because we're not 100 years old, and most of us grew up with
the things you mention. Fast food and convenience foods were not available 100 years ago. JMO -- Cheri Type 2, no meds for now. Crafting Mom wrote in message ...

IMO, people should practice deprivation. Once you do so, you learn that you can indeed do without particular food. We live in a world (most of us, anyway) where food of nearly type is so readily available, that we've become spoiled. |

... I just wonder what suddenly, in this day and age, brings on this deprivation mentality. Pure idiocy and lack of perspective is what brings it on. |
