I can see this.

My wife & I both work.  If we don't do a bunch of meal prepping either on a Sunday or at least the night before, the kids will feed themselves quick things like sandwiches, cereal, or frozen foods before going to after school activities.  We try not to keep too many frozen convenience foods or processed foods around because we both have obesity on each side of the family.

For example, yesterday evening I made ground turkey and veggie bowls for my sons to have today for lunch and dinner because they have double practice today (7-11 am and then 6-9 pm).  If I hadn't done that, they'd either go through the drive thru on the way home from practice or when they got home, make a couple of sandwiches each.  If the healthy food is there and something they just have to reheat, they'll almost always go for that.

I know back before when I had to take them to practices, so many kids arrived at practice with bags of fast food or having just finished fast food in the car on the way to practice.

I think a lot of it is our portion size as well.  When we travel to Europe, it always takes at least 2-3 days for my sons to adjust to the smaller portion sizes there.       [/quote]
