WWII - when there were food shortages, support the war effort, rationing, etc - margarine (oleo) was given government support as a replacement to butter, and part of that was a campaign to show that butter was causing heart attacks - All while 4 out of 5 doctors surveyed smoked Winston with their cocktails at lunch because they were the the healthiest ;)

My grandmother served Imperial margarine at her table like it was the best there was.

As you might imagine, I'm all about the damn butter!

Back in the "old days", it was fairly easy to get service if the electric meter was taken out.
Seen it done with thick pcs of copper wire.
The hardest part was figuring out how to remove that "wire lock" without damage.
Most of the time the linemen didn't give a shit,
unless there was physical damage to the electric company's side of the pole.
I suppose it's no different today, except an abandoned home in a rural area,
only has a matter days before somebody rolls up and steals all the copper out of the walls, AC etc.
A guy woke up in the middle of the night, his roof was being taken off his house by some tweekers out here a couple years ago.

It got bad out here, in the middle of nowhere.
A man and a woman got caught not too long ago, trying to steal copper from an electric company's "substation."
About every vacant home around has had "squatters" living in them.
We live so far out, takes 45 mins for the law to show up if they get a call.
We have to fend for ourselves.
