We never put eggs in the fridge unless we had more than we could eat in a week or so. Hams and bacon hung in the smoke house until the weather got warm and the flies got bad. Then we would can what meat was left . We drank water out of a shallow dug well with a bucket and dipper gourd until it went dry sometimes in the Summer. Then we toted water from a spring in the woods. Blueberry pies were kept in a pie safe made with room temperature Lard from hogs we killed. I can't recall anyone ever getting sick from food poisoning. I think we as a society have become to "Clean" and our bodies immune system is weak compared to a few years ago. Folks smoked and drank and lived 80 or 90 years, and you didn't see near the overweight people you see to day. Even the fat folks would hoe a garden, and we didn't dare call them fat, they were called "A good sized" person. Of course you had to physically work to survive then also. You couldn't sit on the computer all day and post comments on website news... These times were not that long ago it happened, and still does in remote areas. I am 50 years old and lived it. My Grand Daddy used to have a saying for the lazy, younger folks..... " A hard days work and a cold drink of water would kill that boy" . Sadly, due to our society today it has some truth. Y'all get everything in the Frigidaire fer it rerns and smells like Quorn!
