Yeah, for sure. I think people REALLY underestimate how shitty food was in the 60s and 70s too. My mother-in-law told me she didn't really encounter food made with fresh vegetables until the late 80s, and my own father who grew up on a farm told me that he was so sick of mac and cheese and frozen fish sticks by late Winter(when they were running out of preserved food) that he would eat with his eyes closed.
If you want the boomer city experience, you need to go pick a city today that compares to a NYC, LA, Miami or SF in the 1960s and 1970s. Nothing like 2022 NYC, LA, Miami or SF existed in the 1960s and 1970s.
