[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are going to get nowhere with your DH with that attitude. It's rude and judgmental and frankly, makes a lot of false assumptions. I grew up in a middle class American suburb and we ate plenty of chicken, sandwiches, baked potatoes, peas and carrots, bananas, milk, salad...that kind of thing--boring, maybe, but fairly nutritious for growing kids. Sure we ate junk here and there, but you really shouldn't act like Americans don't know what salads, fruit and wheat bread are and they're Indian inventions. As for eating out, most families I knew in the middle class didn't make places like Olive Garden and Applebee's a regular occurrence--most American middle class families could not afford to eat at sit-down places all the time, and it's isn't practical to round up multiple kids and go to a place like that on weeknights. I'd assume your DH was probably from a pretty affluent family and/or an only child. [/quote]
