Based on this image, how have the commodities in pantries changed over the last 40 years?
Are most of the same brands present? Are they packaged the same way? Do you still use some of the same cookbooks?
What do the contents of this pantry tell us about this family in terms of their socioeconomic level, health concerns, personalities, age of family members, etc?
Do you think meal time has taken on greater lesser importance today as compared to the early 70's? Why or why not?
I think it's interesting to see how much that resembles my college apartment cupboards. It seems like you've got to just stuff it as full as you can and try to fit all the food possible in there. Mostly because us college students hate to go to the grocery store multiple times so we tend to stash as much as possible in one trip. And it's funny cause I've got a pot of oatmeal in my cupboard just like the picture.
