Bread. The French working class lived on bread. Through most of the eighteenth century a workman's wage was just enough to buy the quantity of bread that would keep him and his wife alive and strong enough to work. If the price of bread went up, the quantity went down. When it doubled, his rations were halved. If the price wet down, he could afford meat once a week, and children. If the price went up after the children were weaned ( much later than now, up to four years), the children starved.
