What did your childhood diet have that your current diet doesn't?

[Reecejackox 349]

I would say microwavable toasties

Instant boxed stuff (hamburger helper, Kraft mac 'n cheese, etc.), those sickly canned vegetables that always look a day away from expiring, pop tarts, kool-aid. 

I still sort of use boxed/jarred items (curry roux, chili oil), but that's about it.

Those Koolaid plastic bottles.

The two biggest ones are gluten and seed oils. I didn't realise my body tolerated gluten badly so I was consuming it pretty much every day, and I paid no attention to the types of fats which I was consuming as I had no idea that they were dangerous. Otherwise my diet now is pretty similar to what I had as a kid - pretty much a carbon copy of a paleo diet with the occasional piece of chocolate and some coffee thrown in.

A lot of different cookies.

Sweets. Now I’m not much of a sweet tooth as I used to be.

[Splashee 28,537]

Sugar. A lot of sugar.

I am glad Oreos didn't exist in my country until recently.

Sweden. We got Oreos in the stores about 10 years ago. I remember, it was weird to walk into the store to see a dedicated section for cookies

Well I used to be obsessed with Quavers, they were the only crisps I ever ate. Then I found them disgusting and now I eat them very rarely. Also cheesestrings.

Ah Sweden! I was always interested in visiting over there. Ah yes, here in the US, we have some stores that have aisles dedicated for cookies, cereals, ice cream, and more XD We really love our junk food apparently. Though in the past year I haven't really eaten any oreos or anything like that anymore so its a good thing I guess

This! I used to eat Oreos and other snacks, but now I don't find them as good anymore! I tried them again a long while back, but they tasted disgusting with too much processed sugar.

@StarlightNyars

I don't mind oreos but I don't eat them much. Last time I had them was in a Mcflurry. I feel like it's because I always had the same snacks so I became used to them, but I don't have them anymore.

@Starla

Ah I see! I haven't had a Mcflurry in years and that's cuz the machines here in the US are always broke somehow lol

[Splashee 28,537]

Mcflurry!!! Haven't had that one in decades
