Fatty geese, skilandiai, potatoes, bacon … It was these foods that were on most Lithuanian tables between the wars. Today, doctors only classify these foods as “occasionally possible”, but they by no means recommend eating them daily and in large quantities. And yet, in interwar Lithuania there were very few people who were obese or had cardiovascular disease. Currently, it is estimated that one in four Lithuanians is obese and cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death. So what did our ancestors do differently in the interwar period to avoid such problems?
