[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Junk food is cheap. Healthy food is expensive. Work from there.[/quote]

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]

Prepping meals can be very easy. It’s not hard to cook up meat to create spaghetti, tacos or stir fry. You can marinate chicken and throw it in the grill. Then pair it with steamed broccoli. We've become a society that wants meals delivered to our doorstep.[/quote]
Exactly. If kids aren’t learning cooking basics at home, perhaps they need to learn it in school, or in the after school programs. Poor people all over the world learn to prepare food, and so do most rich people. It’s human nature.[/quote]
