How is canned food processed?
Pickling and canning for preservation is a very exacting science. Most canned foods are processed by a hot water bath method. Low acid foods need to be processed using a pressure bath method. Processing time vary depending on the vegetable, fruit, or meat being canned. Done incorrectly food can develop botullisms that can make you very sick or even kill. I recommend you buy a book (Ball Canning Guide is excellent and readily available). If you do not want to spend any money, look up the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) website. It has information that has been scientifically developed, tested, and approved for the canning and preservation of meats, fruits, and vegetables. They have many recipes and detailed methods for preparing them properly. Research first and then buy the proper equipment required for successful canning. Buy your vegetables at a local farmer's market if possible. The less time the vegetables have been picked the better your canned goods will taste.
Write two reasons why the process of cannin foodputting food in tins kills microbes?
prior to the canning all bacteria in the food are killed and the canning prevents new bacteria from infecting and spoiling the canned food Food that is put into canning jars is not sterile, thereby allowing bacteria to grow. Canning sterilizes the food and the jar, killing any thing in the jar. Water boils at 212 which is the temperature for sterilization. If using a presure canner, the combination of the pressure and the boiling sterilize meats, veggies, etc.

What foods can you pickle?
A very general definition for "pickle", is to preserve a food using a solution of water that contains salt or vinegar or both. Additional seasoning is common, but not necessary. By this very broad definition, you can pickle almost any food. Whether it will taste good after pickling, is another question entirely (for example, Lutefisk). Meats are usually pickled with salt only and not vinegar, while vegetables & fruit have vinegar as a base.

What did children eat in 1932?
Much less processed than today's food. Fresh produce, fresh meat, fresh dairy delivered to the house by the milkman. Most housewives baked their own bread, cookies, pies, and other desserts. Portions were smaller and snacking was not common unless it was fruit. Desserts were frequently based on fruit. People canned fruits and vegetables during the summer and fall so that they were plentiful during the winter. Canning was necessary because the US did not import a lot of fruit and vegetables in that timeframe. People did have drive-in fast food restaurants and junk food was not available. Most people carried their lunch to work and school.
