On my mother's side of the family they were practically vegetarian or normal as it was called back then. Vegetables all week and maybe on Sunday a roast probably fowl of some sort.
This was during the 1940s. There were nine children and the parents on a farm in a small rural area. So no extravagant purchases no pop, candy, etc. My mom told me one Christmas her present was an apple and she was excited! The apple came from the tree out back.
Sounds good? But all the women (grandmother and aunts) in the family developed diabetes, one male (uncle) too.

Type 2 diabetes isn't always due to a poor diet.
