I&#x27;m from Oklahoma, and I always wonder how much of our social behavior is based on the fact that Oklahoma was, until recently, Indian Territory and land worked by farmers who came around the time of the land runs. If you&#x27;re struggling to provide enough food for your family in 1889, there&#x27;s no way you are letting your children not eat all of their food. I&#x27;m sure that is self-perpetuating in some way.
