[quote=Anonymous]I saw this study, and yes, I want to cut down processed foods in my families diets. We regularly pack granola bars or things like Cher it’s or chips in kids lunches and also sandwiches with cold cuts. Here’s what I struggle with personally. I grew up 100 percent vegetarian, not vegan. My mother, who was even more orthodox than I (for instance not eating eggs), made and ate mostly home cooked meals. We are South Indian, so those meals included white rice, whole wheat chapatis (rotis), veggie stir fries, stews etc. my mom died of stomach cancer. Ever since she got sick, I’ve been questioning a lot. I let my kids eat meat, cold cuts etc, but I do want to cut back. I just don’t think a vegetarian home cooked alternative is that much better. Plus, diabetes runs in my family. It is highly genetic and I am prediabetic already, though not overweight.[/quote]
