7. Food • The Joads eat hot biscuits, bacon, and coffee in Oklahoma. There are not extravagant, but they live comfortably. They have enough food to feed the entire family, and they know how to carb up. They spend the rest of the trip, however, surviving on salted pork, fried dough, or boiled potatoes. They are poor, hungry, but determined to survive. When they get a little money working in the cotton fields in California, they eat pork chops, potatoes, milk, Cracker Jack, and occasionally pancakes. Wouldn't you want to splurge after months of never getting enough to eat?
