In the 20's nobody is really interested in what the boomers are having for breakfast because it's the millennials that have taken over the crown. Having a black mammy on a box is viral dynamite that's going to go off sooner or later. It's not personal, it's just business.
In the old slave days, the slaves grew crops and animals. The
owners got all the good meat and veggies. The slaves were given
the scrap leftovers to eat.
Well, over the years, the slaves learned how to cook very good
food from all those scraps. Used to be known as soul food but
decendents of slaves kept going and definitely know how to
cook excellent home cooked food.
Having a pic of a black person on a box of food was to indicate
it was a very good product.
