  • Doubtful, most common meal for peasants would have been a sort of stew of vegetables and oats called pottage.

    A whole chicken would have been prohibitively expensive either to purchase or in lost money from sale at market, same for pork or beef.

    Fish though would be plentiful and cheap and a valuable source of protein. Oysters were considered peasant food until pretty much the 20th century.

    Wheat bread similarly would have been a rare luxury, especially made from refined white flour, rye and buckwheat, roughly ground would be far more common.

    First, we’re not talking about enforcing children to go work down the mines, the article is talking about a teenager working in a food truck, no matter how click and rage baity the headline is.

    All labour is inherently exploitative and learning that and the degrees with which you personally can or can’t accept is a valuable life lesson whether you learn it as a teenager when you have a familial safety net or when you’re living hand to mouth and can’t afford to speak up.

    I have no moral or ethical problem with allowing a teenager who wants to working a job for which it is appropriate for them to do. Issues we may or may have with the nature of capitalist society or lack of regulation doesn’t change that.
