I hear you. We have become a pretty wimpy society. I will say, though that our poultry and beef came from farms, not the factories it comes from today, and so was probably far less contaminated than what we buy today.
I also had a Western Flyer bike. I remember my Daddy having the handlebars welded back together several times when I would wreck and break them.
