I don't think my parents were ever actually hungry during the depression. Mom grew up on a farm in Kansas, they grew a lot of their own food. Always had milk, bread, and chicken.

It didn't put clothes on kids on gasoline in the tank, but it kept people fed. Unless you were in the dust bowl farm people had no excuse for being hungry.
