They had a rule of buying only one item of junk food per grocery trip. They lived off the land to a degree and bartered excess, for things they needed more of such as such as extra berries for fish a neighbor had caught and had too much of.

I was shocked when in spite of all this an audience member stood up and said something to the effect of "Your children are malnourished!"
