To the editor:
I grew up way up north. While I was growing up, I ate healthy. My parents fed us healthy food, such as fish, berries, meats and other healthy foods. There was no diabetes, heart disease (not like today), hardly such illnesses as today.
There apparently was tuberculosis in the early 1930s or somewhere around that time. There were no clinics. There were only what they called dispensaries, which were basically for people who maybe broke their arms or legs. There were no candies galore, not like today, There was no pop. It did not start coming until in the 1970s, for us anyways. This is just part of the story.
