    In the 1970s my mother was eating liqueur (parsley sauce) and mash potato every day for lunch and a tin of tomato soup with no bread for dinner. If you look back at the 70s everyone was thin, not because they had more will power but because most couldn't afford good food. And it did effect them, eventually my mother couldn't sleep on her cheap mattress because the springs dug into her bones.

    What country was this? In my 1970s, I had some random jobs at a pasta factory, a concrete silo builder, and worked in an office at a cutting die mfg. I was young, and not sure if I could have paid for a house, but it seemed like plenty of money.
