In the udssr food was ether subsidized (so very cheap, fresh bread was cheaper then pig food) or its was basically a novelty food , yes yes there was stuff in between like cucumbers which where subsidized in summer and expensive in the winter, thats why people in easter europe pickle there cucumbers, its was basically free food, get some pickles, get some bread and you have basically 50% of a meal for "free"
so why big gazongas?
Milk
do the math, milk wasent subsidized, people needed to find a way, to evolve....
Also ironic because irl it works the exact opposite. Modern agriculture over prioritizes pregnant cows compared to historically, and the hormones in it cause earlier and larger breast growth (on average).
