A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression by Andrew Coe, Jane Ziegelman
4.0
Notes:
- The dairy industry has a bad reputation in 2017, but adding milk to the diet of a child in the poverty class in the 20s & 30s was a significant nutritional step up.
- However broke people were during the GD, they always seemed to have coffee.
- The capitalist experiment has failed multiple times, but never more (yet) than when crops were burned or deliberately spoiled during a time of widespread starvation because the farmers would lose more if they sold or tried to distribute the food.
- Americans are weirdly attached to bland white food.
