That’s a lot, thinking about a family of 3 that’s over 3 pounds of butter a month, 6 pounds of flour and 6 pounds of rice, an obscene amount of sugar (seriously what would you do with it?) and 16 pounds of meat (no beans :sadness: )
No vegetables obviously a problem but this is more than enough to live on, I’m sure this would get augmented with produce etc) and represents the minimum
Sugar consumption in the US has been roughly constant from the 1930s to present, with a small peak in the early 2000s. I'd imagine Euro countries are similar. It's a bit of a myth that people eat "so much more sugar" now, people have always had a sweet tooth.
Plus as others have alluded to, sugar was rationed in Poland specifically because people were hoarding it to make moonshine, but the government still wanted to make sure people had enough for treats.
Honest question, has Change.org (or online "petition" sites in general) ever accomplished anything that objectively improved material conditions? A skim of their wiki article lists that [in the US] they; A) saved a dog from being euthanized after he killed a duck on a farm(???), and B) got Sallie Mae to stop charging people money every 3 months to keep their loan payments suspended. and that's about it. Both are unironically good things, as is the platform's potential for spreading awareness to causes generally ignored by the news cycle.
It's just, the reverence liberals have for petitions and "engaging in your civic duties" is perfectly personified in the popularity and undeserved (imo) reverence that Change.org has. They're a for-profit organization! They're incentivized to maximize engagement, regardless of whether it's genuine or not, and they certainly don't have the pull the meaningfully influence the decisions of capital. And yet libs keep parroting that "you just need to get involved in the PohLittyCall Process" yet this kind of shit is almost entirely what they mean by that. "Yes I'll give my personal information to a random website and comment that trump is a burnt cheeto who should be IMPRISONED! wow I am such an activist, time for daily brunch!" ugh

I've heard that desserts were often way sweeter back in the day, sugar wasn't as ubiquitous in everything but when it was used it was used a lot.
That's how it should be. Keep the sugar out of stuff you wouldn't expect or want it in, and then go all out on the actual sweets.
Yeah I love flipping over to the nutrition label and seeing the huge quantities of salt they use to mask the equally ruinous volume of sugar.
