    Can you imagine how "clean" thatfood must have been?

    I'm really into the past and love all things vintage and retro. Well I stumbled across a photo in my tumblr feed that got me thinking what food might have been like without all the chemicals in/on it. I just can't image fresh food without pesticides, plastic package toxification, genetically modified or not grown on an industrial farm.

    Food not touched by air pollution or water pollution is enough to make my mouth water!

    Haven't you heard about London smog? The air wasn't that clean neither in New York. You have to go further to get not polluted food.

    Stay away from ancient Rome (city) too. Although they had environmental problems in ancient Greece too. Actually the earliest human settlements got fucked up in Middle East because of pollution (salt).

      Due to slow transportation and no refrigeration I would think your choices of fruit/vegetables would be limited and not as fresh as you might think. And meat without refrigeration ......


      I eat lots of fruit/veg's and do often wonder if washing even helps if chemicals were used in the growing process.

        Meat is hanged 1-2 weeks (or even more) before it's even shipped to stores, so there is not that much hurry with it. You don't anyways get fresh meat from store, it's old, as it is supposed to be. 2-3 weeks might be the hanging time in current optimized meat processing facilities, as the good hygiene allows longer hanging time.

          My grandmother used to tell me that when she was a little girl her mother would go to the market every day. That in those days most people only bought what they would eat that night or would keep. Plus all the food was local.

          So perhaps places like New York had air pollution but I'm sure a smaller city or just 10 minutes outside of city things were far more cleaner.

            Yes and now. Remember that at the time of that photo the " City " was not as big as it is now and there was still some farming land around it.

            So while specialty things had to be brought in, other things were very local.

              Get real; every apple and ear of corn had a fucking worm in it back then.

                  An apple with a worm in it is an apple without pesticides in it.

                  It used to be when you found an apple with a worm in it that you cut the section with the worm out. You then ate the apple and used the worm to go fishing

                  ALL of our meat today is raised in shit. Cows, pigs, poultry, etc are constantly feed antibiotics and even irradiated to kill the germs.

                  As for slave labor, it's all undocumented Mexicans doing the grunt work.

                    Worms are not pollution. Good protein source.

                    Besides, not every apple has worms if not treated somehow. Or do you put all kinds of shit to your apple trees in gardens, etc.? I have eaten wormless wild apples too; no one to look after those apples.

                          You're right of course.

                            I guess cholera, yellow fever, and many other plagues were just the products of good clean living in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

                            New York at the time of Hell's Kitchen was a cesspool of disease.

                            I work on an organic farm tomorrow. Maybe I'll post some pics of what real, fresh food grown without pesticides looks like.

                                Veggies should be washed, if nothing else, to prevent getting toxoplasmosis (or more of it).

                                It came into my mind about the worms: what the US kind of mass producing chicken farm is for happy worm couple looking to infect couple chickens? Heaven.

                                  I buy lots of organic fruits, vegetables and meat at the public market. I have chickens that lay eggs in my backyard.

                                  You don't have to wonder, it's all out there if you choose to look for it. But be willing to pay.

                                  Spend you some brain.
