I often reminisce about the good old days when dead bugs, boogers and finger flavor were the only food additives we needed to worry about.

And a little grease and 90-weight oil.

Welch Foods, when it was independent (1970s) was headquartered in Westfield, NY. The grapes there are perfect quality for jams - and for cheap wine, like Mogen-David (MD 20/20). So, a century earlier, Dr. T.B. Welch came there from his native New Jersey, and set up shop.

They made jams and preserves in impressive quantities. Off the highway, they had four, or six, silos with WELCH'S on the side.

Late 1970s, at work, we had some contractor come in who was skilled in heavy electrical machinery repair. Couple of guys - they'd have lunch in our break room.

They talked of a time when they had a repair at the Welch plant. I guess what brought it up, was when one young guy with our crew, covered with grease, fastidiously washed his hands before eating.

Anyway...those silos had giant mixer blades going through them, like cream whips, with motors on top of the silo. Seems a transmission on one motor seized, and they were called in to repair it.

They started carefully laying out plastic to catch the gearcase slop as they opened it up, but a Welch foreman just pushed it aside. "Just let it fall in," he said. "It'll dilute."

That was just a few years after Welch Foods had that big push to children, on Saturday morning cartoons. THAT was what they thought of their products and the people eating it.
 
Producing and manufacturing were not a high point in the US during the 1970s. Even the auto manufacturers got exposed by the Japanese with help from OPEC. Lots of things went downhill after JFK was assassinated. Same thing would have happened now if they got Trump.
 
And then we have this:

Plastic Discovered In More Than 50% of Plaques From Clogged Arteries
ScienceAlert

Plastics are now everywhere, with tiny fragments found in several major organs of the human body, including the placenta. Given how easily the microscopic particles infiltrate our tissues, it's vital that we learn exactly what kinds of risks they could pose to our health.

All you need do is look at the label.

Camden, NJ.

Anything good, wholesome or even okay, left the Garbage State fifty years ago. That Campbell did not follow, tells us what they're about. Leftist politics and corruption.

The Wokecrats tell them to put syn-food in their vetches, they will do as ordered.
 
Grok:

Breyers is one of the oldest and most popular ice cream brands in the United States.Key facts about Breyers:
  • Founded in 1866 by William A. Breyer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He began making and selling ice cream from his home using a hand-cranked freezer, emphasizing high-quality, simple ingredients.
  • Original pledge: Breyers famously advertised that their ice cream was made with only a few natural ingredients (milk, cream, sugar, and natural flavorings like real vanilla beans). Early packaging often highlighted a short ingredient list and the slogan “Made with ingredients you can pronounce.”
  • Acquired by Unilever: In 1993, Breyers was bought by Unilever (the same company that owns Ben & Jerry’s, Magnum, Talenti, etc.). This is when many longtime fans say the brand began to change.
  • The “frozen dairy dessert” controversy: Starting around 2008–2013, many classic Breyers flavors quietly switched from being labeled “ice cream” to “frozen dairy dessert” because they no longer met the FDA’s legal standard for ice cream (which requires at least 10% butterfat). They began using more milk, tara gum, guar gum, and other stabilizers and reduced the cream content to cut costs. Some flavors (especially the “Natural Vanilla” that used to be the flagship) still say “ice cream,” but most of the lineup does not.
  • Current lineup (as of 2025):
    • Traditional pints and 48 oz rectangular cartons in grocery freezer aisles
    • Flavors range from classics (Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry) to CarbSmart, Lactose-Free, Non-Dairy (oat milk or almond milk-based), and limited-edition or partnership flavors
    • A premium sub-line called Breyers Delights (higher protein, lower calorie) existed for a while but has been mostly discontinued
  • Still one of the top-selling grocery-store ice cream brands in the U.S., competing with store brands, Turkey Hill, Friendly’s, Edy’s/Dreyer’s, etc.
In short: Breyers is a 150+ year-old American ice cream brand now owned by Unilever. While it still sells a lot of ice cream (especially the flavors that still qualify as real ice cream), many consumers feel the quality and recipe simplicity have declined since the Unilever acquisition and “frozen dairy dessert” changes.

What happened?

UNILEVER. The Globalist owners of the brand.

Big Business, today, is led by Elites infected by the Woke mind-virus. Look at Campbells...syn-meat. And PROUD of it - as they trash their own product as garbage for **THOSE PEOPLE** to eat. What kind of business head would so damage a business's reputation, built over a century, to garner temporary status among equally-twisted fellow-Elites in the cocktail circuit?

I just this week bought a box of Jimmy Dean breakfast biscuit sandwiches. Used to eat them all the time - great for an instant breakfast when you're in a Chinese-Fire-Drill hurry, as I was, so often. Even now it is, or was, a good breakfast when my back is screaming with Arthur Itis. Egg, sausage, cheese, in a sliced biscuit; carbs, 26 grams. Not bad.

But the sausage has shrunk. And HALF a slice of cheese! I wonder how degraded the cheese is, now...and of course, price is up.

And what's in the pork, now. These Elites, in food marketing, in consumer goods, in autos, in energy...are INSANE.

What Happened - GLOBALISTS !

I just waiting to see how they are going to Market/Spin the new Green ( Soylent ) Biscuits. Ref to the 1973 movie " Soylent Green "
 
Even the margarine is not real any more. For a fun laugh, send someone into Walmart with the quest to buy margarine. The packaging must have the word "margarine" somewhere.
