Popular Foods No One Is Eating Anymore

think about it how much of the food you remember from your childhood are you still eating all the things your parents ate when's the last time you saw that stuff let's take a look at all the foods people once consumed by crazy but are now on the verge of extinction from our restaurants and kitchens popular foods no one is eating anymore 20 Sunny D Sunny D was first developed in 1963 by the time the 70s rolled around it had become increasingly popular a small bottle of Sunny D or Sunny Delight was in every kid's lunch box back in the 90s in 1999 Sunny D faced some controversy for releasing a commercial where a snowman turned orange around the same time a four year old girl from the UK turned orange from drinking too much Sunny D their sales have din 2001 sales continued to go down after that their 170 percent fruit juice formula is gone and now it only contains less than 2% of concentrated fruit juice 19 whole milk veganism is on the rise especially in the United States nowadays supermarkets offer many dairy milk alternatives such as almond milk soy milk coconut milk and more those who are lactose intolerant have more options now to full milk is higher in fat than plant-based milk and therefore doesn't aligned the healthy food trend of today's society studies have also shown that cow's milk isn't that good for you once you become an adult leading many to stray away from it 18 Franks and beans on the topic of being health-conscious let's talk about something vegans surely will not eat Franks and beans this American favorite is high in fats and sodium and is probably not gonna be your post-workout snack it wasn't too long ago that you could go to a potluck or barbeque and somebody would bring this dish to the party and why not it wasn't an expensive dish to cook and could be used as a casserole or as a sandwich filling 17 canned tuna in an age where animals must be free-range and all food must be organic there's not a lot of customers rushing to the shelves to snag themselves some canned tuna in 2013 can see food sales dramatically declined and where the lowest it had been in teen years around this time tuna consumption dropped by 30% people may avoid eating more fish like tuna for their fear of mercury however the FDA and EPA say that canned tuna in water contains less than one gram of fat and is about a hundred calories and contains lower levels of mercury 16 kool-aid you won't be able to find too many powdered packets of kool-aid sold to Canada anymore but it hardly matters no one drinks kool-aid in this day and age many Millennials can recall sitting in front of the TV and in between commercials saying the kool-aid mascot busts through a wall there are a few reasons why it decreased in popularity a sweet powdered drink like kool-aid has a reputation for being unhealthy even though two cups of kool-aid only amount to 98.2 calories and fortunately kool-aid also brings to mind cult leader Jim Jones and the tragedy of the people that followed him were in everyone ingested kool-aid laced with poison it was this event that gave rise to the saying don't drink the kool-aid 15 eel pie here's something a bit more off-the-wall we're gonna need to go back centuries for this one eel pie was a staple dish for the early Americans living in the new world during the 17th and 18th centuries today we're more used to eating eel on a dragon roll at our favorite sushi place in the olden days eel was served in a jellied form with some mashed potatoes and pie crusts on the side or sometimes at Yale was baked into a pie either way this is not something that's stuck around in the u.s. 14 cottage cheese it seems milk wasn't the only dairy product to suffer as of late cottage cheese isn't selling like it used to 4050 years ago and Greek yogurt has taken its place it may surprise you to know cottage cheese is quite healthy for you cottage cheese is an excellent source of calcium meaning it's good for your teeth and bones it can help regulate your blood pressure and even help prevent certain cancers a study in 2005 showed that children who a more dairy like cottage cheese and milk were less likely to feel sluggish and more likely to feel energized cottage cheese reached its sales peak in the 70s 13 Crisco Crisco is full of trans fats which are terrible for your diet since they raise the levels of bad cholesterol in your body Crisco contains partially hydrogenated oil in solid form what you're looking at when you open this can is just salt like fat this vegetable shortening was popular to use and homemade cookies and other foods maybe your grandmother still uses it to make your favorite desserts but new hip bakeries using Crisco will be hard to find twelve roasts beavertail if you're looking for a meaty meal then don't expect to find much when it comes to a roast beavertail however if you like chewing on smooth creamy fat then this is the food for you beavertail is devoid of much meat many early European settlers in North America enjoyed eating it during the 17th century after Native Americans introduced roasted tail to them for a trapper living in the woods beaver tail was one of the most accessible foods in the North American wild roasted beaver tail continued to be a typical dish in American households until after the 1940s 11,000 dinners lima beans did you know that national lima bean respect day is April 20th too bad something else overshadows it on 4/20 otherwise lima beans might have had a chance at being a preferred ingredient in foods again because of childhoods consisting of parents forcing their kids to eat their lima beans it's not exactly a fan favorite in the u.s. some people cite the taste and texture as to why they hate this green bean others say most lima bean dishes were over boiled and tasted incredibly bland 10 again we point to America's current health kick frozen dinners are full of sodium and calories what was once a practical meal for busy parents to give to their kids or the easiest way to bring food to work is now looked down upon for its health cons it should be noted however and just because a food is frozen doesn't automatically make it dangerous for you veggies and fruits in the freezer aisle are still healthy for you it's processed foods like snacks TV dinners and pizzas that you should avoid 9 tapioca pudding most of you might see this as something your grandparents eat but not you yourself you can't even buy this stuff pre-made in a tub from the grocery store society is slowly moving away from wanting to buy anything prepackaged even if that doesn't Sara Lee mean it's good or bad for you tapioca pearls contain little to no nutritional value and are full of starch what people may not realize is that popular tea drink topping boba is made of tapioca while the tea you're drinking might be healthy the boba that fills your cup pretty much cancels out the benefits 8 stewed prunes when you think of prunes your mind automatically goes to prune juice which then makes you remember the time you were constipated and your mom shoved that brown liquid down your throat not pleasant memories the thought of eating stewed prunes sounds awful but if you travel to Scandinavia these wrinkly plums are a favorite dessert simmered in cream or water in other places it's probably only found in the fridge of a senior citizen 7 ice cream those who chose to give up dairy or cat to give it up for health reasons usually miss ice cream the most well it's true that companies now manufacture soy almond and coconut milk ice cream the majority of ice creamery chains still use cow's milk between 2005 and 2014 ice cream consumption declined by 10 percent in correlation ice cream companies produce nearly 90 million fewer gallons what's on trend now frozen yogurt compared to ice cream Froyo has fewer calories and less saturated fat six oysters rockefeller this seafood can be served as both an entree and hors d'oeuvre it consists of an oyster and a half shell topped with green herbs like parsley some butter and bread crumbs it is then either broiled or baked the greenish yellow tinted color combination resembles the color of American money and was a favorite among the wealthy such as john d rockefeller himself if you needed higher-end restaurants you might still spot Auster's rockefeller on the menu but chances are no one else is ordering it 5 mozzarella cheese don't fret people don't hate mozzarella that much yet it's minimal decline in the food market has more to do with the fact more people are consuming fewer dairy products and fewer animal by-products altogether vegan cheese used to be so far from real cheese but hardly anyone could stand it now vegan food companies have improved their recipes so that people can start eating vegan sandwiches and vegan pizzas thankfully mozzarellas low moisture makes it perfect for something like pizza which is still beloved around the world maybe that'll be enough for this stringy cheese to stay for Sora according to a study from 2014 the percent of adults and sixty point seven percent of children drank a sugary drink on any given day that seems like a lot but compare that to seventy nine point nine percent of children and sixty one point five percent of adults in 2003 that drank soda in general it appears that sugary drinks have declined in the past 20 years the survey from 2017 showed that Pepsi and Coke brands were on a decline too while Water Products saw an increase in volume three sardines some people love sardines albeit a small percentage in this day and age people tend to choose fish like salmon and tuna over these little guys is it the fact that they usually come in the can if anything humans need to consume more fish like sardines which many food snobs dub as trash fish sardines anchovies and mackerel are oily and unpopular but they're rich with omega-3s this type of fatty acid lowers blood pressure slows the development of lacking your arteries reduces the chance of abnormal heart rhythm and does much more to congealed salad the term congealed salad is one of the most unappetizing phrases ever yet it was a classic American dish for a time what constitutes as a congealed salad think of a loaf sized hunk of jell-o with different things inside of it sometimes those things were fruits like oranges and cranberries sometimes it was food like chicken veggies or even tuna during World War two congealed salads were easy and cheap to make it didn't need a lot of sugar and that was good because sugar was rationed back then it also served as an effective way to deal with leftovers to ensure your household didn't waste any food jell-o dishes stayed popular until the 1970s before we tell you number one we have a question to ask what was your favorite snack growing up it's stores do you still eat it let us know in the comments below 1 red meats a study in 2015 discovered that 50% of 1112 respondents in the u.s. said they were cutting down on processed meats in their diets and that 41% of people were reducing red meat the most common reason was health concerns the second most common was the cost

your physical well-being but also the planet's well-being methane emissions from cows and fertilizers harm the environment scientists warned that significant reductions in meat eating must be made to
