Not only that but fruits had thicker skins, breads were much denser and more nutritious, meat was tougher and people had to eat the shitty cuts too, people ate more vegetables and less nonsense like potato chips. Kids rarely got any special treatment. You ate what the parents ate. It probably fucking sucked, but it was probably better for them. I have a picture of my great grandfather. Looked very similar to me, including the asymmetrical eyes/nose. The difference? His jaw was fucking wider than his ears. And his neck was even thicker. My jawline isn't even that bad, it's probably above average, but this guy was built like a fucking bull.
