[quote=Anonymous]I kind of get what OP is saying. My parents grew up poor in the 40’s and 50’s and ate home cooked, generally healthy food. My grandparents shopped and cooked. My father’s parents were in NYC and didn’t have a car but took the train/bus to shop and fed a family of 9. My mother’s parents were a little better off and lived in NJ, right outside of NY. My grandfather had a car so they could get to the store. They had a yard and grew a lot of vegetables. They even grew figs, blueberries, strawberries. There was no fast food or going out to dinner. My grandmother was always cooking and fed a family of 7 plus borders they took in. She also took a trip south once a year for canning and brought preserved food back. I know conditions aren’t the same today there are a lot of single heads of households who work. My grandmothers didn’t work so they had time to plan meals and cook for their large families.[/quote]
