“… but I wouldn't mind being on ‘1970s House’”
After watching Frontier House [1], a “reality TV (Television)” show about
three American families that have to live as if they were in 1883 Montana—all
I have to say is that I was never under the impression that times were
simpler and better in the past. I appreciate the conviences of modern life
like, oh, hot-n-cold running water, electricity, central air and Coca-cola,
not to mentions things like Band-aids and the Internet.
But I will say that the families, after spending five months living a
frontier experience, looked much healthier. Granted, if they lived like that
for five years (which is what it took to get the full claim to a homestead in
the 19^th century) they wouldn't look nearly as good, but five months of hard
[DELETED-labor-DELETED] exercise and healthy eating certainly did wonders.
