That's pretty disconcerting. Without knowing more about their methodology I'm not sure how this compares to the Cold War era, but it is worrisome to say the least.
For meal recipes I would just like to see the recipe and not a blog post with dozens of ads.

We have a Django app on the backend and have used Django REST Framework for our REST API. That was a great experience, but had some limitations. We've written our new GraphQL API with the help of Graphene and it has been awesome. Everything is very declarative and exploring the API schema couldn't be easier using GraphiQL.
Implementing it on the frontend has been great too. Yes, you do have to specify what fields you want, but having complete control is worth the extra boilerplate. I'd recommend it heartily.
