Must include that if you’re here on Lemmy you were probably on Reddit before, and the latter has been a campaign for doom and gloom for close to a decade at this point. When you surround yourself in folks suggesting the sky is falling, you start to believe the sky is falling.

I was born in '87 and I distinctly recall eating a lot of canned veggies growing up. I’m sure it’s what my mom grew up (in Newark, NJ) eating, and so it probably just passed on down when she was a young mother. I’m curious if canned veggies were just the rage at the time or if it was so because access to the fresh stuff wasn’t as available.
