EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Why We Eat Better, 1951" takes us back to a simpler time when family values and wholesome nutrition were paramount. Captured by Alexander Henderson, this unpublished version of a similar image originally featured in Better Living Magazine showcases a family of four proudly surrounded by their annual food consumption. In this idyllic snapshot from the fifties, we see a beaming husband and wife standing alongside their two young boys. The picture exudes happiness as they stand amidst an abundance of staple foods neatly arranged in their storeroom. A shopping trolley filled with nutritious supplies serves as a visual testament to their commitment to health. The photograph not only illustrates an average yearly intake but also hints at the importance placed on emergency preparedness during that era. The well-stocked warehouse resembles a bunker or larder, symbolizing the family's dedication to ensuring sustenance for any unforeseen circumstances. As we gaze upon this charming scene frozen in time, it reminds us of the significance our ancestors placed on nourishing themselves and their loved ones. It serves as both an insightful demonstration of past dietary habits and an inspiration for modern-day families striving for healthier lifestyles. This remarkable photograph is housed within the Hagley Museum & Library in Wilmington, Delaware, USA – preserving history through its timeless beauty.
