[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I immigrated from Europe, one thing I have noticed that derails healthy eating in America, lots of people can't cook and don't have any inclination to learn. Yes, it's possible to eat healthy on a low budget but you need to know how to cook from scratch or be willing to learn. I think it will really help poor communities if they are given some lessons in basic cooking, although these days everyone is on internet and recipes/information is so readily available.[/quote]

+1. What happened to Home Economics as a class? That's how I learned to cook because my parents were too busy working to teach me.[/quote]

Years ago, I took a Home Ec class. Perhaps because of time and budget constraints, here are some things that we made:
Candy apples; doughnuts using canned biscuits; pigs in the blanket — also using canned biscuits. I think we also made white sauce mixed with tuna and noodles.  No stews. No soups. No fresh veggies (that I remember). Maybe the advanced class did healthier recipes. [/quote]
