The reality is that preparing healthy food is time-consuming, especially if someone is juggling two jobs or one job and childcare (e.g., getting kids to and from daycare, school, etc). It is exhausting to stand on your feet all day, then stand to cook as well as be present for your kids.

It effing sucks to not have money. My parents stressed over every meal as there were more mouths than portions. I grew up hating cooking because it = stress. Now I generally love to cook, but it took some years to get to that place. [/quote]

American society is devolving. People ate too quick to make excuses for laziness and nothing is every someones fault anymore. Only slightly more than half of households receiving food stamps, have at least one person that works full-time. So close to half of these people don't even have a full time job and they have plenty of time to cook their own food, if they weren't so lazy. Many of the remaining people on food stamps that can't support themselves are making irresponsible decisions having more children than they can afford.  We are subsidizing irresponsible behavior and then many of these people turn around use the money to buy unhealthy food. Once these people get diabetes, Uncle Sam also picks up the tab for their medical bills and the responsible members of society are forced to pay for all of it. [/quote]
