I'm not talking about the poverty of Victorian times, but the '40's and '50's, when we had rationing.
Nutritionists compared our diet of today, with that of sixty years ago, and found the latter to be much more the healthier option.
Limited fat, very limited sugar, high fibre/low protein, lots of vegetables, and of course not as many preservatives as we have today, were our 'fresh' food is shipped thousands of miles, and so needs artifical preservatives to survive the journey.
