How did that Thang smell in the 1700s

[Gold]

You act like the nutritional properties you listed above aren't found in meat, greens, and fruit.... and if I'm not mistaken, scurvy wasn't even widespread like that..... cats that were on the long ass sea expeditions or voyages would catch it from time to time...

And these greens... were they found year round? Easily accessible?
What about fruits? Were they growing oranges in Winter?
Did they buy them at Kroger?
Was meat healthier and freer from infection?



And they main question that everyone seems to keep dodging remains... what quality of life and health did the average person have access to during this time period






I think you are a smart poster, but this thread is making me look at some of your brehs and brehettes like...


EDIT: See the post my post was in reply to. I'm not saying nutrient rich food didn't exist back then. I'm just saying that it is absurd to believe that the average 1700s person had far greater access to healthy food than someone living today.

You can eat like shyt in 2015 if you want, but you don't have to

Dear sir. What applied to your post was meant for you. The rest was just info for the thread.

You may think what you want, but vaginas are self-cleaning. It's a well known fact.

Okay, I concede.

WOW... why were you guys talking about hygiene in the 1700's again?

I would assume it smelled terrible. Our genitals aren't too far away from an area that releases waste. But I don't think overall body odor would be that noticeable until you were in an area that was crowded with people. You would then be introduced to new smells outside of the odors you have become acclimated to.

I addressed this in one of my previous posts. Are you only focusing on modern (for the 1700s) societies, where resources where distributed unequally? Or have you considered globally? In lay man's terms, hill people are usually healthier than city folk. In the city, high society gets most of the resources. The poor get whatever trickles down. Cities tend to be dirtier as there are more people in a smaller space.

However, the people who worked the land tend to know the land, and how to rotate crops, and hunt game and know folk medicine. In your defense, the large scale of colonization would have affected more people but I'm not sure if it would be the majority of the world population in that time period.

So some people may not have had oranges, but they had native plants that provided the same or similar nutrients.

As someone who's parents grew up on a farm and whose grandparents owned farmland, I fully understand that there is nothing exclusive to the 21st century when it comes to healthiness in agriculture.

But to say that they had far more healthy options than we do today... come on now

Well... If we're going this route.... Are we speaking on 18th century England\America only? Or the world in general?

We're talking about a land that provided wonderfully for the natives pre imperialism... and I don't see why its so hard to fathom almost year round farming in the south........

Things that we no longer eat for sustenance like raisins, berries, nuts, etc were almost certainly be a part of the every day diet back then.. at least I would imagine it to be....

What options did they have that we don't have now? That's the post I was replying to. The poster said they had access to much more nutrient foods than we do now.

I'm gonna need specific examples of foods that we cannot eat today that we could in the 1700s


Hey if I'm wrong i'll gladly accept it. I like learning new things.
Maybe there were some super healthy foods that are extinct today

You are the second person to take that seriously. I think people take things too serious here. When people say they had "real food" back then, they just mean their meat ate what was in their natural diet, not force fed, GMO corn, soy and woodchips wasn't filled with antibiotics, hormones and ammonia, the food wasn't filled with preservatives and fillers like cellulose, wasn't GMO or made up of stuff developed in a lab.

We may be "healthier" because of modern medicines, but the medical treatment is usually for illnesses caused by the food.
