Actually hunger and inadequate diets, malnutrition, and slow starvation in some extreme cases, are known about the great depression, at least to most people.
Many of us had family that experienced it, and these men would have experienced it on the road and so far from home, it is what appears to have brought most of them to travel to DC in the first place, are you paying attention to this story at all?
You want to rage and attack people personally, but you don’t seem to be saying anything other than repeating over and over, that they weren’t facing starving and hunger.
If that is your opinion, then fine, to you it is all just Great Depression mythology, and poor people traveling at the time would not be dealing with such a problem, but your rage and hostility is off putting.
Remember, you failed to prove your claim. I knew you would, and you did.
President Herbert Hoover declared, “Nobody is actually starving. The hoboes are better fed than they have ever been.” But in New York City in 1931, there were 20 known cases of starvation; in 1934, there were 110 deaths caused by hunger. There were so many accounts of people starving in New York that the West African nation of Cameroon sent $3.77 in relief.
