[quote=Anonymous]The thing is, people weren't overweight in such huge numbers before convenience foods were manufactured and introduced. Had the convenience foods we have available today (like chicken nuggets, frozen pizza, chips, huge choice of fast foods,etc.) been widely available back in the days of yore when a parent did often stay home, they'd have been relied on just as much then, too. Didn't you ever see a 1950s cookbook? Holy shit. So many canned vegetables and condensed soups and gelatins- because those things were new and convenient. Guaranteed, if they'd been around in the 1920s, people would have had the same health issues then. Our problem as a species is just that we like gratification through the path of least resistance. We've always been like that. Whether someone is at home during the day to cook or not, humans WILL choose, at least some of the time, the convenience foods. [/quote]
