Mainstream Eating Guidance, 1960

I love this - thank you for sharing.

It amazes me the level of ego the current generation has compared to the previous generation.

A colleague recently found an Eighth Grade Final Examination dated 1954. I doubt most people with post secondary/graduate level education could pass this test. 20 simple questions requiring general knowledge on how to thrive at that time, from amending a balance sheet to basic questions on civics. In so many cases we have lost focus on goals and re-learning what our elders have already known.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

The chart that has the 7 food groups only suggests "some daily" for bread/grains. I grew up in the era of the food pyramid with grains at the bottom - the largest part of our diet. Quite different!

Is 5'9" the average height of men? My brain got stuck on the 154 lbs for men column.

I just Google'd it. Average male USA is 5'9" to 5'9.5" which some sources round up to 5'10".
