Ah, a time when we didn't have a "obesity" crisis killing millions and costing us billions. Lead in fumes and DDT in fertiliser, take a bow. Your kill rate has been literally dwarfed (and DDT saved more lives than it eroded; technology moves on and we found out about its possible negative effects too. Shame on the 50s for not having the technology that these redditors took no part in creating. The 2050s will probably laugh at our primitive ways too.)
The poisonous nature of lead was well known for a long time. Its continued use was due to industry and establishment control of The Science. Thank Pfizer that those days are over.
