As a whole, the modern people would not want to go back to those times, but people were healthier and more focused on what it took to take care of their families.
The majority of people live on their own farms and raise their own food without pesticides, fungicides or growth stimulating hormones for their livestock.
They eat lots of fruits and vegetable and work from sunup to sundown. They are exercising their bodies all day and they have a purpose and meaning in their lives. They live in the midst of an extended family and do things in balance and without extremes. They are patient, they live for peace, harmony and character development. This is not to say that ALL people lived that way, but the majority did.
By the time the children were 6th graders they were the equivalent to today’s eleventh graders. By necessity, people were more self-sufficient and interdependent. They share tasks. One person mends and quilts. Another makes the candles. They preserve perishable in honey because, while they don’t know just why, they do know that honey doesn’t go bad. Fruit is dried. Apples are strung on fishing line to dry in the attic and there will be apples to last all year. Grains, seeds and nuts are easily stored in giant barrels in storage areas together with dried fruit. The Barns Looked Like Health Food Stores. A root cellar five feet underground help squash, potatoes, yams, rutabaga, kohlrabi, parsnips, carrots and other vegetables. A cheese house holds many different cheeses, each aged in a wax casing and preserved on the outside by honey. Generally they do not kill their cows because they need them for plowing. Horses are used for hauling. They eat fish when they can be found, and if they’re not eaten immediately, the entrails are removed, and they are salted and dried. Many vegetables are dried. They had to have everything they needed for each winter ahead.
There was little obesity. They used home remedies and as long as they had good well water, they had the potential to live long and healthy lives.
TODAY’S LIFE IS NOT SO SIMPLE. The stress of taking care of a family, completing an education, living in an environment with dirty air and eating foods that only have a minimal amount of nutrients, has taken a toll on everyone’s health. The problem is growing by leaps and bounds.
