[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's a big piece that hasn't been mentioned, a lot of times in family food is love.  It's how people show love for the people around them.  They want to provide tasty foods for their loved ones to enjoy.

There's a lot of family traditions around food.  Even in memories when people start talking about things in their childhood.

I don't think you should be so hasty to discount what they do, maybe it's not your thing, but you shouldn't poo-poo it just because you don't approve.[/quote]

Oh god. No wonder there is so many obese people in society with all this “Food is love” crap.[/quote]

You think the Uber Eats crowd and "let's just order pizza" people are setting the examples for healthy eating?[/quote]

There is an in-between option. Scrambled eggs for breakfast is just as (or more) healthier than scratch-made waffles and bacon. And takes a fraction of the time to make[/quote]

Right. Which is why I make scrambled eggs on a workday/school day morning. Pancakes and the like are perfect for vacation—we got to sleep in, there’s no agenda for the day beyond beach bumming, we’re going to take our time and celebrate with eggs, bacon, and pancakes. [/quote]

Save the pancakes for a staycation at your own home. Don’t annoy others with your need to overdo the cooking. Also, plan some more active vacations! We usually do hiking or something active in the morning followed by beach bumming in the afternoon.[/quote]

It may shock and amaze you to realize that some of us can make pancakes, go for a hike and spend time in the beach on the very same day.  :lol: [/quote]

Do you have reading comprehension issues? If you’re spending 80% of your day making pancakes and other meals, you’re clearly not going for hikes or to the beach. If you choose to hide in the kitchen out of insecurity, so be it.[/quote]

Um, I read YOUR POST, which didn’t have any time percentages in it. Go on, scroll up and read the post I responded to. I’ll wait.

Plus, if it it takes “80% of your day” to…cook and clean up after pancakes, you must be one of the hapless, bumbling idiots in the “Has This Ever Happened To You?” Infomercial genre.[/quote]
