From my talks, there was very little canned food and not much sugar -- at least some because it wasn't added to everything like it is now, and none of it was high fructose corn syrup.
They lived in a small town in the countryside, so the food was typically fresh.

- readthenotes1 3y agoI will ask next time I get a chance but it will be after this comment thread closes. If I recall correctly canning is a relatively recent invention anyway (Napoleonic wars) so there is a way other than that. Plus modern canned foods have so much salt in it but it's not really the equivalent...
- giantg2 3y agoThat's really curious. The other main way to preserve things other than canning is by salting or curing, which would have way more salt than the canned foods.
