1947 - New Food 'Ice Age' Believed on Way....

From The Alva Review-Courier, dated 21 May 1947 and Chicago, (UP) -- "The Frozen Foods Association of Chicago predicts a new ice age when the future housewife can serve venison, whale meat and enchilladas as easily as bread butter and coffee. The association said that within the next 10 years, most of the food people eat can be bought in quick freeze form. One spokesman said three-fourths of the dishes on American tables are perishable and can be preserved in their best natural states by quick freezing. He said that 800,000,000 pounds of edibles were quick frozen in 1945 and marketed, ready to warm while setting the table. The total will be topped this year and hiked to 1,500,000,000 pounds by 1950. He listed more than 400 different foods which have been frozen either commercially or experimentally. Among them were 43 vegetables from artichokes to zucchini 37 fruits from apricots to zapote, and 39 meats."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
