Something I found in the kitchen while replacing the lino.
The Ladies Home Journal September 1949 edition.
New and exciting kitchen accessories and meals to serve for the latest “Cannibal” craze.
With the onset of the cold war and the threat of mass nuclear annihilation the everyday housewife has turned her thoughts and attention to the possible scenarios that may present themselves if such an event occurs,
Feeding the family is always the most important thing these modern day marvels are contemplating and the latest appliances to do these tasty treats isn’t far behind in personal priority.
With the threat of a nuclear winter blocking out the sun and poisoning the ground, cannibalism has taken a strong hold as firm favourite thus creating this wacky but popular new fad.
A dual freezer and cook top for basement use which can be fired using offal and calcium deposits (bones for you slow learners) If you feel lonely you can keep yourself some company with the glass doors.
Lending a hand in the kitchen takes on a whole new meaning with these new designer serving dishes.

Nothing is more powerful than humour mixed with a dose of reality.
I just watched the Helen Caldicott interview with Denton on DVD again the other night and it dawned on me yet again how frightening the whole threat of nuclear winter thing is (not to mention just the whole nuclear weapons thing in general!!). Thank god for people like Helen though.. is all I can say… keeping a close eye on the ignorant, power hungry, nuclear happy politicians out there. It really is a frightening thing to think about. (which is obviously why we so often choose not to)

You’ve got lino?
I was always told by my mother to shut up and eat my meat. There was always an endless supply.
She came from a large family that kept getting smaller. MMMMMmm?
P.S. The third picture is snow white and the seven people of short statue that grew up and got older.
