It actually wasn't too bad. Not as bad as it would be in today's society. Around that time there wasn't as much "stuff" that people owned back then and almost everything was done by hand. People would build their own homes and make their own food by hunting or fishing. The woman usually sewed dresses,quilts, and other material things. Basically People would live by doing. Unlike in Today's society where everything is handed to us.

What did people eat in the 16th century?

In the 16th century the main food of rich people was meat. However the rich rarely ate vegetables. Rich people were not necessarily well fed because they ate too few vegetables. Poor people ate plenty of vegetables because they had no choice! Vegetables were cheap but meat was a luxury. On certain days by law people had to eat fish instead of meat. At first this was for religious reasons but later in the 16th century it was to support the fishing industry. If you lived near the sea or a river you could eat fresh fish like herrings or mackerel. Otherwise you might have to rely on dried or salted fish. Poor people usually ate dreary food. In the morning they had bread and cheese and onions. They only had one cooked meal a day. They mixed grain with water and added vegetables and (if they could afford it) strips of meat.
