Yeah, their WWII PTSD really boosted the canned food craze. But the Boomers (no pun intended) ate it up, and carried it along and put it all in plastic.

Yep, Greatest Gen grandparents raised me. Mom made all sorts of jello and casserole abominations. I'd probably be an inch taller if I could have stomached that garbage as a kid.

Boomers for sure did, leaded gasoline began being used before Boomers were even born.

What likely leads to greater exposure is how many cars there were by the 70s and 80s. But lead exposure is cumulative over a lifetime. So I would be curious to see that research, as Boomers had roughly 40 years of exposure from 1950s to 1994. Gen X wouldn't have that much by decades.
