I think the same can be said for a lot of food production and eateries. Ignorance is bliss, as they say 😊
Many older Aussies of my grand parents generation weren't that keen on processed food, and as a young bloke of about 11 when we first moved to Adelaide from the bush we used to regularly drive past a chinese cafe on Anzac highway and I can recall my nan making comments about chinese food because ( in her words ) the chinese ate cats, which was apparently correct for some parts of China.

She was suspicious of most restaurant or cafe food, but was a regular at the old Balfours cafe in Rundle street where even in the 1960's the waiting staff were dressed like extras from a 1930's Agatha Christie movie, and a very good cook herself particularly casseroles, pastries and puddings ( her pasties made with top side steak were to die for), but as far as I'm aware she never deviated far from her mother's recipes, or the green and gold cook book.

Re your comment about `Ignorance is bliss' I visited the Rosella factory at Kent Town in 1969 not long after the company I worked for at the time bought the site, and if any one saw how their tomato sauce was manufactured back then I suspect many of them would have removed it from their personal menu.
