Spread Too Thin

Every time I start to worry about what people are eating today, I think back on some of the stuff I grew up with that most people don’t eat today. Braunswager, mostly. Cream Chipped Beef. Pearl onions.
It kind of puts things in perspective.
And then I see stuff like this: a Safeway sandwich spread ad from 1955.
Ingredients: Pickle Relish, Vegetables, Salad Oil, Vinegar, Water, Peppers, Egg Yolk, Starches, Salt, Spices and “flavors.”
It’s amazing someone could walk upright without gastrointestinal distress after eating something like that.
