Some google work indicates the "comfort food" meme of people are comforted by extremely high carb mostly starchy foods was invented in 1977. Its been a popular meme and has already settled into eternal common knowledge despite being less than 40 years old. None the less the concept is going to seem weird to people roughly older than the meme and self evident to everyone younger.
