Where on earth did you get this? What a memory of a scary time.
This is really a keepsake from a long time ago. And a reminder that things can quickly change and not be as good as we have it today, in spite of all the chaos.
And, the diet is one that is pretty highly recommended. Remember, though, that we were never short of sugar or meat because we lived on a farm, and were entitled to more food stamps than city folk.
