Re-inventing the wheel
Friday 15 February 2008 at 12:38 pm.There are things in life I still don’t understand and probably never will. One such thing is: why do we keep re-inventing the wheel??? Reading through some old cookery books I came along the notice that eating too much fat and sugar causes the rise in obesity, and the good housewife should make sure that she takes care of her family by not providing them with this. Obesity? On the rise? In the 50’s and 60’s? Giving kids too much candy? In those days? And of course one should steam veggies to preserve the nutrients… ???
So why does it seem to me that we pretend we know so much more now then they did then?
