A little nostalgia for you '70s kids courtesy of your Department of Agriculture.
Omigodomigodomigod! That used to be on while I was watching Captain Kangaroo, along with the Tootsie Roll Pop commerical and the Tootsie Roll ad (“The world looks mighty good to me, 'coz Tootsie Rolls are all I see …”)
Thanks for that link!
I can’t hear it at work, but right away two phrases sprang to mind, “Eat a variety every day!” and “Pea-nut butterrrr!” Seems like the peanut butter one was said by a dog, though…
Give a hoot! Don’t pollute!
gasp! All hail teh Intarwebs!
Now, if I could only find some footage of the old Hap Richards show …
Dang, they show that all the time around here (well, it’s “new heyday” was at least 5 years ago, but I still see it often enough). Are we an anomaly?

I’m gonna admit. I opened this thread expecting to see some crazy-state-of-the-art genetically enhanced food product that farmers are now growing that includes all of the things you need to eat.
I remember the dog too. But not the peanut butter (although what dog doesn’t love peanut butter?)
And remember:
For variety and vitamins and feelin’ rooty toot
Eatavegabreadamilkacheezabeanameatafruit.
Only You can prevent forest fires.
I hope you all realize this is a steal from Lucille Ball vitameatavegamin many decades ago.
And its sister product, Fruitabreadamilkacheezabean, which failed in the marketplace.
personally, I Hanker for a Hunka Cheese.
