How did people get overweight during the Great Depression?
This is not a shaming question in the least. I am a large woman and auditioning for a role in a show set in the 1930s. I have seen photos of big women from that time. I just wonder how they were able to be overweight. Food was scarce. They had to work their behinds off to even survive. Any theories or stories?
