They were akso eating a lot less highly processed foods.
I don't think they were eating any...
Canned and frozen foods weren't a thing really until ww2.
There were some, but not many.
Nope. My mother learned how to can food way before WWII
I meant commercially available canned meats and vegetables.
NOT mason jar activities at home... that's different. You know what's in it.
Awwww. You're right. We couldn't afford Wonder Bread and Cambell's soup. We had to eat home grown and homemade.
I grew up in the west. Meat and potatoes. My mother canned deer meat. At the beginning of deer season the adults went camping. Took the horses and brought home a winter's supply. I never learned to like it but I ate it.
And asparagus because it grew on the ditch banks and was free. I hated it. And chokeberries. Free. We did have a season with pheasant. Dad would get up, feed the animals and bring home 3 every day during the season.
Rich kids got strawberries and raspberries. We got chokeberries.
