Most diets in the 20-30s consisted of a ton of lard and salt...

And their average weight was 144.
More people working in factories and farms, less automobiles and nearly no 8-5 desk jobs.
Not to mention the average WW2 solider was pretty inclined to be in good shape

Cool pic.
Off topic and someone feel free to start a new thread if needed, but I'm assuming that the peak of Negro League baseball was a couple of decades after Ruth/Gehrig. During this peak, I'm also assuming that baseball was the #1 sport for black American athletes (i.e. before basketball and football became nationally popular).
If there was an all-star team of MLB (DiMaggio/Ted Williams era?) that competed for 162 games against the Negro all-star team, what would be the games won by each? I'm asking because I have no idea. Fairly competitive with the MLB team having a slight advantage due to better coaching/training and facilities?

How so? Did the government make people eat Big Macs and Oreos?
