Most people ate regional foods that were cheap. There is not one single food across the whole US that was most popular. A large part of the country survived on potatoes because they are filling and easy to grow. Beans were much more popular then than today. Beans were boiled, baked, made into soups and stews and casseroles. Bread was a luxury for some people and it was often home-made. Many families had soups as their primary food. Fried dough -- a poor man's doughnut -- was popular among people who could get flour. In New England and the South, fish of all kinds were and still are very popular.

The Great Depression led to some of the banking laws that we have now, including the FDIC. Other laws regarding the stock market were enacted then, and became part of the deregulation of the last few years, leading to some of the current problems. Another feature is that the people who are now in retirement were young during the depression. They learned to reuse items and to save and have become probably the most affluent elders in history.
