@josefbosch Rice and veggies was standard fare in every hippy abode. Herbal tea. Fruit for desert, if the trees were producing. Alcohol was not that socially acceptable. And a lot of us were luddites who walked a lot because we didn't own cars. Most people I knew who were mobile had vans that they slept in. We all did yoga, which we learned from each other. We all breastfed our babies. We didn't use disposable diapers, or disposable anything, for that matter. People my age who lived the "subculture" were by no means the majority of Boomers, but the healthy back-to-the-land lifestyle seeped into the mainstream culture eventually.

@Wilderlurker @josefbosch I lived in a commune for a couple of months. Not what people think. We all worked, shared responsibility and grew/farmed as much of our food as possible. Spent more time outside and moving around doing things. Had a lot less stuff, just what you needed. It wasn’t like some think, a life filled with drugs alcohol and sex. Quiet the opposite, never drugs or alcohol or sex and the focus was always healthy living physically and mentally.
@SuzettaAnne @josefbosch Yes, I agree. It was going on all over the place. Here in BC there was a huge family spread out over the islands that all knew each other, and word somehow got out about craft fairs where most of us generated enough money to carry on. By the way, we made our own music, too. "Canned music" was regarded as inferior to the music we made ourselves. I always tell everybody that I missed the "seventies", the music, the clothes styles, the movies... I was busy with raising three babies the old fashioned way. We were homegrown and happy with simple living and high thinking.

You’re supposed to say the things I say out loud when you’re an old man and no longer have any filter on revealing what you really think, but I got to that point by age 25 because we no longer have the luxury of time to play pretend.
