Boomer here: we grew up on home cooked food. Play dates centered around eating home cooked dinner at our friend's or cousin's houses. I grew up in Brooklyn. My first pizzeria pizza dinner ever was at a friends house in my teens..with a healthy side dish of homemade tabbouleh (her mom was Lebanese-American).

The first hamburger fast food was only one which was close by, again, not until my teens. McDonald's didn't even exist near me in the 70's!
A fast snack for us as teens out and about was a slice of pizza or a hero sandwich. We didnt have much fun money to spend anyway...then back home for a home cooked meal.
My cousins lived in various well to do suburbs in the US, and visiting them, it was the same. No fast or junk food.
Same here. I grew up in the late 60's & throughout the 70's and my mother cooked our meals every day. Rarely did we eat out, only on special occasions, and it would never be at a fast food place (we had one McDonald's and one Burger Chef in our town). Not like today where there's a fast food restaurant every 100 feet.

Were you my neighbor? I am in agreement about how we were raised.
