“Please know that there are much better things in life than being lonely or liked or bitter or mean or self conscious. We are all full of shit. Go love someone just because, I know your heart may be badly bruised, or even the victim of numerous knifings but it will always heal even if you don’t want it to, it keeps going. There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there, I promise. It’s up to you to find them.”

This week on Fresh Air we did a show about Depression-era food. Andy Coe and Jane Ziegelman explore this often-overlooked chapter of American culinary history in their new book, A Square Meal. In the interview they explain why relief meals were purposely bland:

Andy Coe: One of the things about the people who were overseeing food relief and the home economists, one of their beliefs was that the blandness wasn’t bad because “nobody was ever killed by monotony.” They were killed by not having enough nutrients, and if it didn’t taste good … They didn’t want people to be too excited by the budget foods, because they wanted to force people to get jobs and to earn enough money to buy spices and seasonings. … When they were handing out relief boxes, they deliberately didn’t add such things as mustard and vinegar with the relief boxes, because they didn’t want people to become too happy with receiving food relief.
