But food was not great.
If you look at the stats people paid a far higher proportion of their salary on food and the cost of housing a lot less.
So if you were young and starting out rent was easy to pay but food was something you could cut back to save some money.

Once again I don't know where you are thinking of, but the exact opposite was the case in most of the West. Where I'm from bread and milk were subsidised and basically free, and the basic bread and other foods were vastly nutritionally superior to their modern nutrition-free counterparts.

wages were higher (adjusting for inflation), you could afford the food easily, you were only poor if you had like 10 kids, how many kids did your mom have?
