Dr. Helen Veit, an Associate Professor in the department of history at Michigan State University discusses a project focusing on the history of what America ate during the Great Depression. Going across the country, Dr. Veit with her colleagues collected historical documents containing food recipes from the 1930s and digitized them.

The project revealed that American food was as diverse back then as it is today.
