I don't think my parents were ever actually hungry during the depression. Mom grew up on a farm in Kansas, they grew a lot of their own food. Always had milk, bread, and chicken. Dad was a preacher's kid, Granddad served rural churches. Even when people didn't have money they took care of the preacher. Garden produce was plentiful and when people did their butchering something would go to the church.
It didn't put clothes on kids on gasoline in the tank, but it kept people fed. Unless you were in the dust bowl farm people had no excuse for being hungry.
Does remind me of the farm crisis of the 80's. I saw stories in the paper about Iowa farmers who couldn't afford groceries. I was amazed when I would drive across Iowa at how few farms had gardens. Made no sense to me.
I got my garden seed order in a week ago, a lot more than I can use, If my sisters expect some they better show up to help some, otherwise it will go to the farmers market.
