How sad. Too bad, most âWaltsâ donât have a â Gertieâ to fix them a TV dinner. Where did we go wrong in providing for the âWaltsâ of America and how do we fix it?
whmlll: who said anything about junk food. todayâs frozen dinners (still called TV dinners by those of us of a certain generation) can be nutritious and healthy choices.
whmIII⊠McDonaldâs Big Mac is classified as junk food.
When I was checking up on my dad after my mother passed away, he would have the âMeals on Wheelsâ delivered to him, suppose to be nutritious but by his standards it wasnât. He would want me to go to the store and buy him TV dinners for him to heat up, and gave the dog the Meals on Wheels meal. I asked him why he didnât like the meals that was delivered to him and he said it tasted like hospital food to himâŠso that was the end of the story. Much more the dog sure didnât get healthy eating it either.
In the 1960s, we kids thought TV dinners were the ultimate in cuisine, just for the novelty really. We had TV trays, and did watch TV as we ate, which was real luxury. This was in the days when neither food nor TV could ever hurt you. People were just beginning to wonder if cigarettes might be harmful, after all.
Some of us did suspect, though; and âcoffin-nailsâ were called that back in the â20s, just not proven, which took many years and statisticians (and weâll hear from somebody who still disputes it).

Has he by any chance mislaid his teeth? Sure looks as if. That would explain his reluctance to eat.

Jimâs penchant for alternating some pretty decent jokes with some real groaners is at work again!
