No I think you mean foods high in sugar were expensive, fatty food was always cheap hence poor people ate it to ensure they had enough energy to work hard.

In the old days people would eat dripping and fatty bacon or a breakfast fry no problem and never have a clogged heart cos they burned it all up in manual labour. It is today when people eat even more meat, fat, sugar and salt than they used to while only doing soft jobs that has us in trouble.
