[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to give a shout-out to this comment from pages earlier “ 3. Food did not taste very good. Yes my mother cooked from scratch and it wasn’t healthy but also didn’t taste great. It was edible but you wouldn’t want to eat more than a small serving of it. Honestly, if I served tuna casserole, dry baked breaded chicken covered in cheddar cheese, green beans cooked to mush in mushroom soup, meatloaf, turkey in a heavy cream sauce over toast or overcooked spaghetti covered in chili, cheese and onions we would all be really skinny not because these are low calorie meals but because they don’t taste good.”
I was born in 1960.  My mother knew how to cook for parties but she just didn’t care enough about how our food tasted to fix good things on regular days. A typical day for a kid was Carnation instant breakfast, school cafeteria lunch, dinner with a yucky main course (baked plain frozen fish, etc) or some simple meat item and canned vegetables.  No good bread anywhere.  And margarine instead of butter, which made carbs a lot less appealing.  Why overeat?[/quote]

Just because your mother was a crappy and disinterested cook doesn't mean that was the case everywhere.  [/quote]
