Original recipes! What happened to them?

Just think of the havoc that low sodium, whole grain, no/low carbs, caffeine free, soy, vegetarian, diet and the like has caused. Anyone else tired of this? It feels like it is being forced down our throats. I for one would like the original recipes of my favorite foods to be restored! I miss the original Trix cereal, honey combs, peanut butter kudos, Nestle Crunch, Three musketeers, Fruit Loops, 7 Up, Crush soda, and many many more. Do you have a favorite food that has been destroyed over the years?

    I feel your pain. We are the most food neurotic culture on the planet. I believe it to be part of our cultural pathology. We've turned a great pleasure, and a cornerstone of virtually all of our social celebrations, into a guilt-ridden, paranoid obsession, overrun with myths about food and health.

    Aren't the originals still available today still? There isn't really anything wrong with low sodium , whole grain, etc. They are there for people who wish to eat them or can't eat the original, but don't want to give it up. They may not taste great to you, but they taste great to someone. Things change.

    Edit: Soda. I hate diet soda. They are bad for you. So I would rather drink a soda and have it taste good and be bad for me, then drink a diet and have it taste horrible and be bad.

    Those recipes were invented before they put HFCS in them. They changed everything in the 90s/2000s to be cheaper. You remember the inferior versions. I want the 50s/60/70s recipes of sodas and candy bars back.

    English muffins and many baked goods due to hydrogenated 'trans fat'.

    And the original McDs fries - which did not use vegetable oil, but animal fat. 97% beef tallow and 7% cottonseed oil.

    I always toss a bit of bacon fat into my refried beans for flavor.

    Pasta. Whole grain pasta........what a travesty.

    No, you I haven't. I and I think you whine too much. There is plenty of fat food around.
