[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't forget, most of the adults of that time had grown up during the Great Depression and WWII, during which food wàs rationed. So, many of the adults- the parents and grandparents of the children of that time- had been at minimum borderline malnourished during their own childhood and young adult years. Thankfully, most adults in the US today never had to live through such hardships. [/quote] I posted this a couple days ago, but it is worth noting in light of the Freakonomics post above. The adults of the 60s and 70s lived through very difficult times when they were young. People in my own family have told me that they never had enough food and usually left the table still hungry. Not really a situation we'd want to replicate. [/quote]
