good quality food was cheap, and most food was fresh.

Unless it spoiled from being out in a market stall all day without refrigeration.

Indeed. By and large most people’s diet back then sucked compared to ours. Most people were still eating what was available by the season and health regulation was virtually non-existent compared to 2018 (or even 1958). Nice clothes and better manners aside, life was hard and often short back then.

Fair enough. Didn’t think of that, but illustrative of the point overall.
