In the 80's and 90's, American health authorities warned people that salt was a silent killer and caused heart attacks and boomers started cutting down. Lots of food producers advertised 'low sodium' etc. So many boomers still have this mentality because they believed what the TV man said.

When I was a kid (80's), boomers were people born in the actual ww2 baby boom, so 1946 to 1950-ish.
Now somehow _I'm_ a boomer because the cutoff 1s now 1964? My sister's less than a year younger than me, but she's gen-x?

Same here, except with time. As far as I'm concerned, Boomers were in high school when the Beatles came to America, I wasn't even born yet. Some protested the Vietnam war while in college, some went to war, I was in 3rd grade when US pulled out. Woodstock? I was 4.

she unironically does think that because when amerifats started dying in the 50s and 60s, the government funded several 'studies' which were then bribed by certain industries which put the blame for all america's problems on fat and salt. For decades, the news media would run paid-for advertisements disguised as SCIENCE teaching people absolutely incorrect nutritional/health information.

They're from an era when it was difficult to go out and research things, so they largely relied on people in positions of authority (journalists, politicians, teachers, police officers, etc.) to tell them how things were.

High amounts of sodium killed alot of famous and respected people back in their day.
They ate a lot of processed foods as they were new and in style at the time.
Also more companies used salt as their main preservative because it's cheap, non toxic and no one was paying attention to sodium amounts on labels at the time.

Really though it was smoking.
cigarette companies paid alot of money to make people think it was salt giving people heart attacks and strokes and causing high blood pressure.

No, she would get and prepare ingredients, just without any seasoning, oil, or butter whatsoever. She also avoided red meat whenever possible, and though we ate shitloads of bread it was always “healthy bread” aka enriched wheat bread.
A typical meal was turkey burger, placed directly from the container into hot pan with no butter or oil, served with no condiments or garnishes on a wheat bun.
I remember I once was over and made hamburgers, and she remarked how she was totally shocked that anyone enjoyed hamburgers since they were so disgusting.
I asked her to take a bite anyway and there was surprise, I would say even SHOCK, on her face. She demanded to know what I had done to make it taste good. The answer was I had used spice.
