Sure, but if you look at an American farmhouse diet from the early 20th Century you find close to 4k calories consumed per person in the form of bread, chicken and dumplings, pickles, pie, In season vegetables and potatoes cooked in salt pork. Industrialization changed the way we eat as much if not more than immigration. The foods we eat have changed in the direction of what's quicker to prepare since most households no longer have members dedicated to making food. But when you see what seems like outrageous portions you're talking the foods of laborers. The traditional country big breakfast? It's a hangover from the days when most country folks worked on farms. The hoagie? A workingman's lunch. You can make the case that spaghetti and meat balls and pizza were a celebration of poor Italians landing in a place where olive oil was hard to come by but tomato sauce, milk and ground beef were cheap. But if you look at the jobs the men in those families were working it was stuff like brick/stone/tile work and digging the fucking subway tunnels in NYC. They were fucking hungry.

Funny and original.

The fact that no one got pissed off about the chicken breast shows just how truly new all of you are.

Ohhhhhh school just got out right? It all makes sense now. Alright well I guess I'll just examine the wreckage in a few months.
