On the other hand, if everything was made today like it was in the ‘60’s a meal out would average $100 per plate and take an hour to get to your table.

No way. I cook everything from scratch. No cans in my cupboard, no boxed items whatsoever. A few bottles and jars of things like catsup and salsa, some bags of pasta. I live on a limited income, have to watch every dollar, buy excellent mostly organic ingredients. It helps that I actually enjoy chopping veggies. And that I do not overeat. Tonight, top sirloin is on the menu. But a small serving.

Actually, I was thinking about restaurants. Most meals are now made in factories and flash frozen for shipment. So, the meal you pay $30 for that looks like it was put together by an artist was made on an assembly line. It also tastes like it is made from cardboard. I’m not complaining as I seldom eat out. But this is today’s business model and few if any moderate priced restaurants have the logistics to have fresh ingredients on hand in the right quantities.
