The war made cooking dinner difficult
Hog Jowls Cow Tongues,and other lousy cuts were what suzy homemaker had to work with, everything else went for WAR.

So corporations make EZ frozen shit and it was bought by women because how much cow tongue and hog jowls could one get kids to eat ,and also remember women began to work back than in bigger numbers,(rosie the riveter>/) they did not have time to make homemade meals anymore.So by manipulating people's lifestyles with WW2 and the drives to feed and sacrifice for the WARRR!,the people left behind needed convenience because of the WARRR. And so they lost a bit more of their local food sovereignty.And corporations ate it up.

The War to Save Frozens

Frozen foods might have died off altogether if not for the onset of World War II. When Japan overran southeast Asia, it captured a large portion of the world’s tin resources and the U.S. government placed stringent controls on canners in an effort to conserve this vital wartime metal. This opened the door for frozens, which used less crucial materials such as paperboard, waxed paper and cellophane. Furthermore, retail shelves emptied as canned goods went to war, so major grocery chains eagerly pressed frozens into service to fill the gaps. Additionally, since frozens did not use metal, their purchase by consumers required fewer ration points than canned products.
