3. The Unhealthy And Unappetizing Food
If you could even call it food, these TV dinners hit the scene in the 1950s, and by the 1980s; they could be found in just about every suburban home in America. Companies like Swanson were making a fortune feeding people microwavable dinners that were barely edible.
Ironically, this was also the era of the “health food craze,” so some of these abominations that food companies had the gall to call “dinners” were marketed as being healthy. Also enter companies like SnackWells, which convinced even more people that heavily processed junk food was good for you.
