Much less processed than today's food. Fresh produce, fresh meat, fresh dairy delivered to the house by the milkman. Most housewives baked their own bread, cookies, pies, and other desserts. Portions were smaller and snacking was not common unless it was fruit. Desserts were frequently based on fruit. People canned fruits and vegetables during the summer and fall so that they were plentiful during the winter. Canning was necessary because the US did not import a lot of fruit and vegetables in that timeframe. People did have drive-in fast food restaurants and junk food was not available. Most people carried their lunch to work and school.
