Gift of Robert and Rosemary Brasie
A legacy of the back-to-the-land movement of the 1960s was an increased emphasis on healthy eating. Mainstream meals with traditional ingredients moved aside as Americans explored new kinds of foods not formerly a regular part of American diets. One of these foods was yogurt, embraced for both its great new taste and its health benefits.
This yogurt maker, marketed to the middle class, shows how quickly foods from the alternative lifestyle of hippie culture went mainstream in the 1970s. |
