[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was saying how growing up his mom fed them dinners or lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, Olive Garden, Applebee’s etc

After after school he’d grab lunch at MCDs drive through.

I’m Indian...we had whole foods type meals 3 times a day. Our mom would make food from
Scratch every day. Chicken curries, spinach curries, whole wheat bread, fresh fruit, salads etc

Is his experience with food the American norm?

How did people actually live till old age in America with a diet like that?

We are a nation of 400million people from various backgrounds...even the white people. Yes, shocking.

I can only speak from my perspective. My parents were, and still are old hippies. I grew up vegetarian. Everything was home cooked. Lots of tofu, nutritional yeast,  oat bran,  lentils,  granola, nuts, and loads of vegetables.

I now eat fish, chicken, and some pork.[/quote]

Pp here...boring white family of German and English descent. Lasagna wasn't in our vocabulary, and we cooked everything (lean meats, veggies, etc) by boiling or baking which is boring but actually healthy. And eating our regularly or daily fast food was a no no (were too thrifty and practical). [/quote]
