stop romanticizing the past like an idiot
people lived in open-air sewers

they didn't. I was already alive when we didn't add "real XYZ" to our food. This didn't happen over the last 100 years. This happened over the last 20 years with accelerating speed.
some guy above was talking about 100 years
go way back and you will realize that before sewers they lived in nature
Before sewers, people just threw their shit out the window onto the street and people just walked through shit everywhere because it was everywhere.
Before servers, most people were dead by 40 from diseases of filth like cholera and dysentery.
